ThermalSeal® RTS™ Silicone Sealing Film
The silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressure is applied to the sealing surface which then creates a secure bond around the wells and perimeter of the plate. Also ideal for dry samples (e.g. soil, seeds, insects, etc.) because the non-activated adhesive above the wells remains non-tacky. A roller or sealing paddle is highly recommended for use with this product to ensure consistent and adequate pressure is applied during the sealing process.
- Provides an extremely strong seal to minimize evaporation
- Certified DNase- & RNase- free
- Chemically resistant to DMSO, acetonitrile, and methanol
- Ideal for use with flat-top, raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates
- High optical clarity and low auto-fluorescence
- Available in roll format for automation: ThermalSeal® RTS™ Roll-Seal
- A complimentary sealing paddle is included in each box
Applications
- qPCR
- Long-term storage
- Protein crystallography
- HPLC
- -80°C to +105°C
Helpful Tips
- Sufficient pressure must be applied to activate the silicone adhesive
- Multiple swipes of the sealing paddle in both directions is highly recommended
- A 10 minute or greater wait period before thermal cycling increases the film-to-plate bond

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.
