SealPlate^® 50 µm thickness polyester sealing films minimize evaporation, prevent spillage and contamination between wells, and provide a secure seal, not just a cover. Secure sealing of all wells eliminates "edge effects" in sensitive ELISA assays. SealPlate sealing films can also be used with tissue-culture plates for short-term storage, incubation, and containment of biohazards. SealPlate sealing films are non-pierceable. Each SealPlate sealing film measures 79.4 x 146.1 mm. ThinSealTM polyester sealing films are just 25 µm thick, clearer and marginally peirceable with single-channel pipettes for sample recovery. ThinSeal sealing film dimensions are 79.4 x 141.0 mm.

• functional temperature range from -40°C to +120°C
• available sterile and non-sterile

* Completing application of sealing films by pressing with the accessory plate roller assures a secure uniform seal around all wells.

SealPlate^® ColorTabTM adhesive sealing films consist of 50 µm thickness clear polyester. They minimize evaporation, prevent spillage and contamination between wells, and provide a secure seal for ELISA, EIA, and similar assays. These unique sealing films include a color dot and white writing area on each end tab for plate ID labeling. End tabs with backing removed adhere to the ends of the plate and are perforated so they can be left in place to maintain plate identity even if the center portion of the sealing film is removed. Alternatively, one inscribed color-coded end tab can be removed and pasted in a laboratory notebook while the other remains on the plate for identification. Dimensions 79.4 by 146.1 mm for 96-well plates. Sealing films are supplied with five dot colors (green, lavender, orange, red, blue) in non-sterile single-color packs of 100 and in assorted packs of 50 containing five individual-color packs of 10, non-sterile or sterile.

• color dots and white labeling area on end tabs
• second tab can be separated for lab-notebook insertion
• end tabs can be left on plate even if center of sealing film is removed
• functional temperature range -40°C to +120°C

SealPlate^® MiniStripsTM sealing films are identical to SealPlate films above, but designed for sealing only one or two 8-well rows at a time on either strip-well or standard plates whenever rows must be selectively protected or accessed. Each MiniStrips film is 19.0 x 103.2 mm, including two positioning tabs. The long dimension with the tabs removed is 82.6 mm. MiniStrips are supplied in sheets of four from which strips can be peeled individually or two-at-a-time for application to plates. Sterile product is packaged in 100 µm tamper-evident bags of 100.

• two tabs on each strip for easy application and removal
• perforated tabs can be removed or sealed around plate edge
• can be used as secondary seal to cover sealing films that have been pierced

*Note - All Sample Packs are available "Non-Sterile" only.
