Product Description
The right seal protects a plate's contents from evaporation, cross-contamination and aerosol escape, and the right material depends on whether the plate is headed for a thermal cycler, a plate reader, an incubator or the freezer. This ILP range covers pierceable aluminum foils, clear polyester PCR films, ultra-clear optical films for qPCR, breathable rayon films for aerobic culture, white luminescence films and heat-activated foils.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number SF035AL-100-ALM, the Aluminum Sealing Foil. Each film is pre-cut to fit standard plates and uses an easily removed backing paper with perforated end tabs that can label the plate or be torn away. Adhesive films grip the plate rim firmly to form a tight seal, and options span long-term storage down to -80°C through qPCR and visual assays. Packs of 100 suit lighter use, cases of 500 cover high throughput, and sterile versions are offered for the breathable film and heat-sealing foil. LIGHT LABS can help you choose the right MTC Bio format for your workflow.
