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. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. The light-reflective properties of BrightMax plate-sealing films on clear-bottom plates maximize sensitivity of bioluminescence and chemiluminscence assays in bottom-reading…

AbsorbMaxTM sealing films are 203 µm thick black vinyl films with 37 µm acrylic adhesive for use with 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well black microplates. The sealing films may be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. Edge cutouts assist in positioning and accomodate ribs on the plate bottom. The light-blocking and absorbing properties of AbsorbMax sealing…

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…

Lazy-L-SpreadersTM disposable microbiological spreaders provide an economical alternative to bending glass rods or pipets for spreading samples on agar surfaces and filters in Petri dishes. They are supplied sterile -no need to flame sterilize or autoclave.Features:unlike glass spreaders, durable polystyrene Lazy-L spreaders are non-breakable and pose no safety hazardL-shaped for convenient "lazy" spreading; just turn the Pet…
