A robust, simple solution for sealing & disposing of all 96 extraction tubes. The 96 Extraction Tube Seal provides a robust, simple solution for sealing & disposing of all 96 extraction tubes post-run on the BD Viper™ System. The seal has been fully tested within Laboratories and has shown to be easy-to-use and enables the one-step removal & disposal of the sealed extraction tubes from the rack.

The process of automatically removing seals from plates has become more popular due to the repetitive task of removing plate seals, which can potentially lead to cross contamination, repetitive motion injuries & plate/seal damage. Application: Automatic & Manual MicroPlate Seal Removal

Strong adhesive seal with cross-cut windows. This seal is peelable and suitable for 96 well plates (auto samplers, HPLC, sequencers).  This strong adhesive seal was developed to facilitate easy sample removal with a manual or automated system. Transparent DMSO resistant film with pierce X (*not for sale in the U.S) The seal is optically clear, being made from a transparent polyester film, and has a strong adhesive applied across the underside of the seal, with 96 round windows which align to the 96 wells of a plate. The optical windows are cross-cut, allowing for easy access to the sample wells with a tip or probe with minimal pressure.

Key Features

• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -40°C to 80°C
• Applications: sample application or retrieval, for use in automated systems and sample analyzers such as HPLC and DNA sequencers
• Removal: will not leave a sticky residue on the plate surface following removal
• Suitable for cutting to fit part plates

 

Low strength adhesive film that is transparent, peelable and suitable for short term storage. This transparent polyester-based film has a low strength adhesive. It is designed as a low-cost sealing option, and useful for temporary storage and as a cover for applications such as centrifugation. End tabs allow for easy application and removal. This seal is removable without leaving residue on the plate. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or KAPS 500 Auto Sealer.

Key Features

• Non-pierceable
• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -20 °C to 80 °C
• Applications: sample storage (aqueous samples only)
• Suitable for all plate types

Transparent perforated gas permeable film which is peelable, pierceable and suitable for cell culture. Our QuickSeal Gas Perm self-adhesive seal is made from an EVA medical tape and is designed for use in cell culture, due to its porous nature. The seal is compatible with polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene and COC. It can be removed by peeling, or it can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, or using a liquid handling robot. QuickSeal Gas Perm can be utilized for effective overnight incubations, during which it demonstrates significant reductions in evaporation compared to lids. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or KAPS 500 Auto Sealer.

Adhesive film with 96 optically clear windows. This seal is peelable, suitable for qPCR and optical applications. These unique seals combine the strong sealing integrity of our QuickSeal PCR Seal with improved optical properties, thanks to the 96 adhesive-free windows. The seal is made of a durably transparent polyester film, and a strong adhesive is applied across the seal, apart from the 96 round windows. The QuickSeal qOptic seal is recommended for qPCR and other optical applications, such as fluorescence or colorimetric measurements. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or KAPS 500 Auto Sealer.

Crystal clear adhesive film which benefits from pressure activated adhesive. This seal is DMSO resistant, peelable; suitable for qPCR and other imaging techniques including crystallization. Crystal clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR. […]

A transparent, optically clear, DMSO resistant, non-tacky film which adheres only when pressure is applied. It is non-pierceable and peelable. Clear plastic, reflective, glossy on the top. Very thin and light and doesn’t crease easily. Crystal clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR. Non-sticky when removed from the packaging aiding with handling when using gloves. When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate – the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear.

Key Features

• Non-pierceable
• Peelable
• Temperature Range: -40°C to +121°C.
• Pressure sensitive adhesive tape, so the seal side doesn’t feel sticky, mainly used for bonding materials to various substrates
• qPCR (96 or 384 well) and situations where fluorescence is experienced and optical clarity is required.

 

Optically clear adhesive film with pressure activated adhesive. Seal is peelable; suitable for qPCR and other imaging techniques including crystallization. Optically clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR. It is non sticky when removed from the packaging; this aids handling when wearing gloves. The adhesive is contained within small capsules, allowing light to pass through to ensure the optical clarity of the seal. When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate – the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using our Hand Roller or KAPS 500 Auto Sealer.
