Thin polyester heat sealing film, easily pierceable with autosampler needles/ABI® 3730; suitable for PCR, qPCR and optical applications.
Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
Our ClearPierce heat sealing film is an optically clear polyester backed film, forming a pierceable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
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
Its pierceability renders it useful for automation and for use on needle, capillary and tip based liquid handling systems
It is effective on the ABI®3730 capillary sequencer, removing the need for the use of expensive septa mats
The ClearPierce forms a complete seal to a plate enabling moderately low and high temperature uses, including PCR when using a pressurised heated lid thermal cycler
Seal integrity range: -80°C to 80°C (or 110°C when used with pressurised heated PCR lid)
It demonstrates a moderate solvent resistance and can be utilised for short term compound storage
