Product Description
Protect amplification results from evaporation and cross-contamination without wrestling a seal off the plate afterward. Excel Scientific's ThermalSeal® films cover everything from routine PCR to optically demanding qPCR and long-term storage, and EZcap™ FilmStrips™ let you seal just one row or one 8-tube strip when a full sheet would be wasted.
This listing is for Excel Scientific catalog number GP-CS1X8-400, the EZcap™ General Purpose FilmStrips™ 1x8. Standard ThermalSeal is a softer polypropylene film with a moderate adhesive for clean removal from rigid PCR plates, rated -40°C to +120°C and certified DNase/RNase-free. ThermalSeal 2, A and RT2 add thick, conformable adhesives for skirted, semi-skirted, raised-rim and dual-component plates, and RTS uses a pressure-activated silicone adhesive rated -80°C to +105°C. EZcap FilmStrips replace strip caps on 8-tube strips or single rows of 96-well plates. Order it from LIGHT LABS along with the plates and tubes it seals.
Key Features
- Easy Removal – Standard ThermalSeal® uses a moderate adhesive and a less rigid polypropylene film that limits aerosols on removal
- Nuclease-Free – ThermalSeal® and EZcap™ films are certified DNase- and RNase-free
- Conformable Adhesive Options – ThermalSeal 2, A and RT2 seal strongly around raised wells on flat-top, skirted and hard-shell plates
- qPCR Optics – RT2 and RTS films offer high optical clarity; RTS adds low auto-fluorescence and DMSO, acetonitrile and methanol resistance
- Row-by-Row Sealing – EZcap™ FilmStrips™ seal a single 8-tube strip or plate row and peel off without strip-cap splash-back
- Formats for Every Workflow – Sterile sheets, 25-, 50- and 100-sheet packs and roll stock for automation
