Of all the foil microplate heat seals in the Vitl range, the green seal is best suited to use at high temperatures. It is also piercable and solvent resistant. Heat seals are available in packs of 100 sheets or as reels. Vitl heat seals are ideal for (but not limited to) use with the Vitl Variable Temperature Plate Sealer and Vitl MicroTS Compact Plate Sealer.   Features: 38um thickness Piercable and Peelab…

The blue foil microplate heat seal is a good general use sealing foil for low temperature storage and PCR. It is piercable and can be peeled from Polystyrene. Heat seals are available in packs of 100 sheets or as reels. Vitl heat seals are ideal for (but not limited to) use with the Vitl Variable Temperature Plate Sealer and Vitl MicroTS Compact Plate Sealer.   Features: 38um thickness Piercable and Peelabl…

If your method uses solvents the red microplate heat seal is the seal for you. The red sealing foil is DMSO resistant and seals to Polypropylene and Polyethylene microplates. Heat seals are available in packs of 100 sheets or as reels. Vitl heat seals are ideal for (but not limited to) use with the Vitl Variable Temperature Plate Sealer and Vitl MicroTS Compact Plate Sealer.   Features: 70um thickness Non-p…

The black microplate heat seal gives the strongest seal of all of the sealing foils in the Vitl range. The strong bonding capabilities make this seal ideal for water thermal cyclers and long-term sample storage. Heat seals are available in packs of 100 sheets or as reels. Vitl heat seals are ideal for (but not limited to) use with the Vitl Variable Temperature Plate Sealer and Vitl MicroTS Compact Plate Sealer.   F…

If optical clarity is required, sealing film can be used instead of foil microplate heat seals. Vitl currently offers two heat sealing films, both of which can seal cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) microplates. Heat seals are available in packs of 100 sheets or as reels. Vitl heat seals are ideal for (but not limited to) use with the Vitl Variable Temperature Plate Sealer and Vitl MicroTS Compact Plate Sealer.   Featu…

The Mini Centrifuge is ideal for quick spin-downs of microtubes and PCR tubes.

Two plates can be inserted confidently into the Microplate Centrifuge without sealing tape or caps.

APEX® Screw-Cap Microcentrifuge Tubes are ideal for sample collection, processing and storage.

Cyto-Chex® BCT is a direct-draw vacuum blood collection tube that contains a preservative reagent.The integrity of white blood cells is maintained at room temperature for three times longer than when using traditional methods.

Several types of sealing systems are available and different techniques and products can be used including adhesive sealed films and foils, sealing mats and plate lids.

4titude®’s Vision Plates™ have been designed for high content screening (HCS) assays in drug development and related areas. They are also suitable for homogeneous assays, employing fluorescence intensity, FRET and TR-FRET where measurements are bottom-read. The high quality optical base plate assures the necessary accuracy and consistency for automated high throughput systems, generating optimum signal-to-noise ratios.

This PCR Seal is a durable transparent polyester film with a strong adhesive layer. This seal enables a high seal integrity and efficiently prevents sample evaporation. It is recommended for PCR, qPCR, and other optical applications (e.g. fluorescence or colorimetric measurements) as well as sample storage.

Peel Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates. It can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.

Pierce Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. The seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for both low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents.

Clear Seal is an optically clear polymer film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, Polyethylene, polystyrene and Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) plates.

DMSO Resistant Peel Seal is a foil seal compatible with polypropylene and forming an excellent seal to Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) plates.

Thermal Bond heat seal is a heavy duty laminate foil seal suitable for providing a very strong, but peelable seal. The seal is compatible with polypropylene plates to provide a high degree of sample protection. It demonstrates very good solvent resistance and can be used for very low temperature compound storage, in DMSO and organic solvents, and long term room temperature storage such that it is recommended as suitable for s…

Excel Scientific now offers adhesive sealing films on Roll-Seal™ rolls for use with high-throughput automated microplate sealers. Film rolls, constructed on three-inch-diameter plastic cores, are compatible with most common adhesive sealers (Brandel, Thermo-Fisher/Abgene, FluidX, KBiosystems). The Roll-Seal format provides reliable and efficient sealing at a lower cost per plate with minimal user intervention. Robust static-fr…

ThermalSeal ATM sealing films are an advanced version of Excel Scientific's classic ThermalSeal® sealing films for PCR. ThermalSeal A films consist of 50 µm polyester film with a 41 µm layer of acrylic adhesive formulated for improved protection against evaporation and leakage during thermal cycling. Intended for non-real-time PCR applications, ThermalSeal A films are designed to fit inside the edge of raised-rim PCR plates an…
