• black light-absorbing sealing films for use with black microplates
• may be applied to top or bottom of plate
• protect light-sensitive samples during storage
• reduce stray light and crosstalk in fluorescence assays

AbsorbMaxTM sealing films are 200 µm thick black vinyl adhesive sealing films 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 films make them ideal for protecting light-sensitive samples during storage. In fluorescence applications they reduce stray light and well-to-well crosstalk. For top-reading fluorescence applications, apply the black sealing film to the plate bottom with clear-bottom wells. For bottom-reading fluorescence, use the black sealing film as a top seal. Dimensions: 76.2 by 114.3 mm. AbsorbMax sealing films will fit within the rim of raised-rim plates. Recommended temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C. Sterile product is packaged in tamper-evident zippered bags of 25, two bags per box.

• white light-reflecting sealing films for use with white microplates
• may be applied to top or bottom of plate
• maximize intensity and signal-to-noise ratios in luminescence assays
• additional applications for mounting and storage of filters for microscopy, for example in ELISPOT assays

BrightMaxTM sealing films are 200 µm thick white vinyl adhesive sealing films 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 luminometers. White films also have application as a backing matrix for microscopy of punchout samples from filter plates, for example in ELISPOT assays. Dimensions are 76 by 116 mm with no end tabs. A backing split singly on the long dimension aids in applying film to plates. Recommended temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C.
