Sample Safe Microplate Adhesive Film Seals...

Porvair Sciences Ltd has introduced Pattern Adhesive Films – a new range of high integrity seals for 96- and 384-well microplates.

The new films have adhesive printed in a “pattern” to exactly match the shape of the microplate wells. Consequently, no adhesive comes into contact with your samples or solvent. Unlike traditional adhesive seals, piercing a Pattern Adhesive Film with a single or multichannel pipettor or robotic probe does not risk contaminating your sample with residual adhesive.

Manufactured from 50μm thick PTFE film – Adhesive Pattern Films are tough, yet easily pierced and offer excellent optical reading properties. Adhesive Pattern Films are also extremely versatile offering secure sample protection from -80C to +120C. Patterns are available to exactly fit 96-round, 96- square and 384-square well plates. For long-term storage applications, durable 100μm polypropylene adhesive pattern films are available in the same formats.
