Seals
A variety of seals for the protection of lab samples from contamination are available at Avantor. Secure microplate samples with films, foils, and sealing tapes; select products appropriate for ELISA, PCR, cold storage, and general incubation. Sealing mats minimize evaporation and eliminate cross-contamination. For beakers, flasks, petri dishes and other labware, choose sealing films that are heat or chemical resistant. Insure sample integrity with security seals that provide evidence of tampering. Mechanical seals are also offered.

VWR® Sealing Films, Non-Tacky, for qPCR, Storage and Crystallisation
Supplier: VWR International
50 µm polyolefin films with 50 µm inert encapsulated silicone adhesive. Especially suited for qPCR, storage and protein crystallisation applications. 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.
