ThermalSeal Film

Optimal Performance for Traditional/Classic PCR ThermalSeal® Film Designed for basic PCR protocols Withstands temperatures from -40°C to 120°C End tabs facilitate film to plate alignment RNase/DNase/nucleic acid free ThermalSeal® a 50 µm polypropylene film with adhesive formulations is optimized for specific PCR applications. Traditional film dimension measures 135.1 x 79.4 mm (123.1 mm without end tabs) and offers sufficient sealing area for most PCR plates. Optimal Performance for Traditional/Classic PCR. ThermalSeal sealing films are not pierceable. For applications where piercing with pipet tips or robotic probes is required for product recovery, see AlumaSeal II sealing films. For real-time PCR applications where maximum optical clarity is required, see ThermalSeal RT and RT2RR sealing films. Note: Not recommended for PCR plates with narrow or irregular sealing surfaces: AlumaSeal®, ThermalSeal A™, or ThermalSeal RT™ series films are better in such instances. ThermalSeal® MiniStrips™ ThermalSeal® MiniStrips™ sealing films are identical to ThermalSeal sealing films (above), but designed for sealing only one or two 8-well rows at a time on PCR plates or strip tubes. They are now supplied in convenient sheets of four. Each sealing film strip is 97.3 x 19.0 mm, including two removable positioning tabs. The long dimension with tabs removed is 137.8mm. Each package of 200 contains 50 sheets of four sealing film strips. Two tabs on each strip for easy application and removal Perforated tabs can be removed or sealed around plate edge Heat resistant, recommended for temperatures from -40°C to +120°C Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free ThermalSeal® 2™ Sealing Films for PCR These improved films for classic thermal cycling applications consist of a 50 µm polyester film with a 41 µm layer of acrylic adhesive. Compared to the original ThermalSeal® films, ThermalSeal® 2™ films offer better adhesion, reduced evaporation, longer end tabs for easier handling, and less tendency to tear during removal from the plate. Each sealing film measures 79.4 x 139.7 mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all PCR plates. Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 125.1 mm. (Not recommended for raised-rim plates; see ThermalSeal A™ films .) ThermalSeal 2 sealing films are not pierceable. For applications where piercing with pipet tips or robotic probes is required for product recovery, see AlumaSeal® sealing films. For real-time PCR applications where maximum optical clarity is required, see ThermalSeal RT and RTS sealing films. Heat resistant, recommended for temperatures from -40°C to +120°C Better adhesion; reduced evaporation Longer end tabs for easier handling Does not tear during removal from the plate easier to apply than aluminum foils, no tendency to roll back Certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free Excel Scientific Sealing Film Selection Chart
