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

Parafilm® M Sealing Film

Flexible, stretchable lab film for moisture-resistant sealing.

Parafilm® M Sealing Film is a trusted solution for sealing and protecting labware, widely used in scientific, medical, and industrial settings.

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

ILP Polyolefin Sealing Film 

• Optical Seal Adhesive Sealing Film
• Polyolefin 2.8 mil Ultra-clear for qPCR
• 50 Films/Pack, 10 Packs/Case 

Incredible optical clarity, non-absorbing, and non-fluorescing properties of these films make them ideally suited for Real Time PCR (qPCR) and optical assay work. Featuring an inert, ultra-clear, and strong encapsulated silicone adhesive that provides extraordinary performance in demanding applications.

Encapsulated silicone greatly reduces the risk of sample contamination due to exposure to adhesive. Once the film is pressed onto the plate, the raised portion of the well penetrates the encapsulation, and a tight seal is formed on just that surface (not over the sample). This silicone seal adheres aggressively, preventing evaporation and lessening the possibility of “Edge Effect”.

The plasticized backing of this film is scored on both ends to allow for two-handed (precise) placement on the plate. Both film and adhesive maintain incredible clarity and are the choice for highly demanding manual and automated processes.
