FoilSeal™

AdvanceSeal™ Sealing Film

AdvanceSeal™ Sealing Film offers high-performance sealing solutions for laboratory microplates, designed for use with automated roll format heat seal applicators. Available in two configurations, pierceable foil heat seal and peelable transparent heat seal, this film is ideal for demanding applications such as PCR, compound storage, and high-throughput screening.

Pierceable Foil Heat Seal

Engineered for automated workflows, the pierceable foil heat seal delivers a hermetic seal that protects sample integrity by being highly impermeable to light, gas, and moisture. Its non-adhesive design ensures that no residue is left on pipette tips, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Key Features

• Pierceable with pipette tips or robotic probes
• Ideal for low-volume and sensitive samples
• Strong microbial barrier for sterile applications
• Excellent chemical resistance (e.g. DMSO)
• Free of detectable RNase, DNase, human DNA, PCR inhibitors, and endotoxins (PCR Certified) 

Peelable Transparent Heat Seal

The peelable transparent heat seal provides superior evaporation protection and is easily removed without leaving residue, making it suitable for workflows that require easy sample access post-processing.

Key Features

• Clear, peelable design allows for visual inspection of samples
• Easy removal without damaging the plate surface
• Effective in temperature ranges from -80°C to +105°C
• Compatible with polypropylene, polycarbonate/polypropylene, and polystyrene plates
• PCR Certified: Free of detectable DNase, RNase, and human DNA
• Compatible with leading heat sealers:
• Kbiosystems, Porvair®, Azenta, ThermoFisher®, Agilent PlateLoc™                            

Ideal For

• PCR and qPCR
• Sample storage (short- and long-term)
• Compound screening
• Automation and robotic systems

Storage Recommendation
 

For optimal shelf life and performance, store at 137°F ±10°F with 50% relative humidity.

eXTReme™ Seal Extra Strong Sealing Film

eXTReme™ Seal features an extra-strong thick adhesive to minimize evaporation, yet removes easily without leaving residue on the plate.

Features chamfered corners to eliminate plate overhang for robotics applications and tight storage conditions.

• Certified DNase- & RNase- free
• Ideal for use with raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates
• Available in a larger cut for flat-top semi-skirted and full-skirted PCR plates: eXTReme™ Seal, Large

Application

• PCR
• Robotics

Helpful Tips

• Selection of the proper film size will minimize evaporation
• The film should not overhang or ride up the wall of a raised-rim plate
• More complete coverage of skirted flat-top plates will reduce evaporation in the outer wells
• End-tab removal before thermal cycling is highly recommended

DuraSeal™ Sealing Film

• Durable, heat-resistant, solvent-proof laboratory sealing film
• Chemically resistant
• Heat resistant & Microwave compatible
• Tight sealing
• Tear resistant

DuraSeal™ is easy to use. There is no inter-leaf paper to strip away, just stretch the film symmetrically over a container opening and the 1.5 mil thick film contracts inwardly around the opening or neck of the container to provide a drum-tight, water-proof seal. The film can be elongated 500-800% before breakage. The film clings to itself, especially after stretching so the free edges of the film may be stretched around the container to secure the container edges.

Permeability Information

• Oxygen = 125cc/100in2/24hrs at 23°C
• Carbon Dioxide = 1300cc/100in2/24hrs at 23°C
• Water Vapor = 1.0g/100in2/24hrs at 38°C and 90% R.H.

ContainerSeal™ Sealing Tape

ContainerSeal™ is a sealing tape designed for the vast range of bottles and containers used in laboratory applications. Its unique elastomeric characteristics allow it to stretch and conform around the irregular perimeters of containers lids and covers to form a tight seal. ContainerSeal™ will block water vapor loss, reduce the rate of gas exchange and prevent the entry of contaminants and can be easily removed from most surfaces without leaving adhesive residue.
