ThermalSeal ATM sealing films are an advanced version of Excel Scientific's classic ThermalSeal® sealing films for PCR. ThermalSeal A films consist of 50 µm polyester film with a 41 µm layer of acrylic adhesive formulated for improved protection against evaporation and leakage during thermal cycling. Intended for non-real-time PCR applications, ThermalSeal A films are designed to fit inside the edge of raised-rim PCR plates an…

ThermalSeal RTTM sealing films combine an optically transparent polyester sealing film with a strong, ultra-smooth, non-absorbing, non-fluorescing medical-grade adhesive for superior performance in real-time PCR applications. In place of the customary paper backing, ThermalSeal RT sealing films have a plastic liner which is easily removed before use and contributes smoothness and extreme optical clarity to the adhesive. Dimen…

ThermalSeal RT2RRTM 50 µm polyester sealing sealing films for real-time PCR are sized to fit within the edges of raised-rim 96-well plates. The same consistent ultra-high optical clarity as Excel's ThermalSeal RTTM sealing films (above) makes possible more reproducible, reliable, and consistent DNA amplification measurements. An inert, strong, temperature-resistant adhesive assures reliable sealing around each well. Two end ta…

The encapsulated silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressed against the sealing surface, at which time adhesive is released only in sealing areas to form the strongest available heat-resistant seal around each well on the plate. Adhesive on non-sealing areas of the film, such as directly over sample wells, remains encapsulated and inert. Excel ThermalSeal RTS films are sized to fit within the edges of raised-rim 96-well plat…

A 38 µm thick aluminum foil sealing film with 38 µm layer of acrylic adhesive for use with 96-well plates. Fits inside the rim of raised-rim plates. AlumaSeal 96TM sealing films have one partial-width end tab with no perforations. Pierceable. Available non-sterile only. Sealing film dimensions are 127.0 mm x 77.8 mm (including single 9.5 mm end tab).Features:fits inside rim of raised-rim plateheat & cold resistant, recommended…

AlumaSeal CSTM sealing films are specially formulated 50 µm aluminum foil sealing films with a 50 µm layer of acrylic adhesive that withstands cold storage at temperatures to -80 °C. Unlike other sealing films in the AlumaSeal group, AlumaSeal CS sealing films are not recommended for PCR or thermocycling. A single non-perforated end tab simplifies application. Simply hold the tab and strip the backing from the body of the seal…

A 140 µm thick hydrophobic porous rayon sealing film including medical-grade adhesive for tissue culture plates, bio-blocks, and 96-well plates where gas exchange is necessary for cell or bacterial growth. AeraSeal sealing films minimize cross-contamination, spillage and evaporation. They allow uniform air and CO2 exchange for all wells, unlike plate lids which favor exchange for wells near the plate edges. Dimensions: 82.6 by…

Easily pierceable, 70 µm thick, polyethylene with acrylic adhesive, EZ-PierceTM sealing films allow direct sample recovery with single or multichannel pipettors and robotic probes. Dimensions are 82.6 by 142.9 mm for 96-well plates.Features:easily pierceable with pipet tips or robotic probesinert, chemical resistantfunctional temperature range -40°C to +90°C

X-PierceTM sealing films are 89 µm thick vinyl with a 18 µm thick adhesive layer, designed for temporary protection from contamination and evaporation for samples in 96-well plates. A precut "X" over each well creates four flaps that easily bend downward when pushed by a robotic probe or pipet tip, allowing sample access without coring or adhesive fouling. A thin adhesive layer and special hairline cuts separating the X-Pierce…

With a 70 µm polyethylene top layer and inert white polypropylene and acrylic adhesive sublayer, this easy-piercing sealing film allows direct sample recovery with single or multichannel pipettors and robotic probes. The adhesive-free zone above each well prevents adhesive fouling of the pipet tip or probe, ultimately minimizing the amount of adhesive that comes into contact with the sample. Dimensions are 79.4 by 142.9 mm for…

BrightMaxTM sealing films are 203 µm thick white vinyl films with 37 µm acrylic adhesive for use with white microplates. The sealing films may be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate.

Texan reagent reservoirs are reusable - an environmentally sound alternative to disposable reagent reservoirs. Their extra-large capacity means fewer refills and time saved. The V-shaped basin is compatible with both eight and twelve-place multiple pipettors with minimal reagent waste. Lids are removable - attached with ball and socket hinges - and latch tightly for secure storage of left-over reagents. With lids c…
