ThermalSeal 2™ Microplate Sealing Film for PCR & Storage

These improved films for classic thermal cycling applications consist of a 50 µm polyester film with a 41 µm layer of acrylic adhesive. Compared to the original ThermalSeal® films (below), ThermalSeal 2™ films offer better adhesion, reduced evaporation, longer end tabs for easier handling, and less tendency to tear during removal from the plate. Each sealing film measures 79.4 x 139.7 mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all PCR plates. Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 125.1 mm. (Not recommended for raised-rim plates; see ThermalSeal A™ films below.) ThermalSeal 2 sealing films are not pierceable. For applications where piercing with pipet tips or robotic probes is required for product recovery, see AlumaSeal® sealing films. For real-time PCR applications where maximum optical clarity is required, see ThermalSeal RT and RTS sealing films below.

Features:

• heat resistant, recommended for temperatures from -40 °C to +120 °C
• better adhesion; reduced evaporation
• longer end tabs for easier handlingdoes not tear during removal from the plate
• easier to apply than aluminum foils, no tendency to roll back
• certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free
