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.

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.
