The clear heat seal easily pierceable is an optically clear polyester backed film, forming a pierceable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates. For short term compound storage. Suitable for PCR, qPCR and optical applications.

• Thin polyester heat sealing film
• Easily pierceable with autosampler needles/ABI® 3730
• Compatible with automation and for use on needle, capillary and tip based liquid handling systems
• Moderate solvent resistance
• Perforated roll for easy removal of sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers
• Temperature range: –80 to +80 °C
• Non sterile

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays.

The sheet seals fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates, from 12 to 1536 wells.
