Sealing film ThermalSeal RTS™ 65m roll for use with automated sealing instruments for qPCR (real time PCR), Storage & Protein Crystallization

Adhesive Sealing Films in Roll-Seal™ Format for Automation
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-free packaging provides protection during shipment and facilitates accurate alignment and adhesion.
Made in the USA
Fast, efficient, high-throughput sealing; 2.5-5 seconds/plate; no handling and backing removal from individual sheets
Hands-free; reduces chance of mishap or contamination; more uniform sealing from plate-to-plate
Heat-free; no high temperatures to damage sensitive samples or warp plates and cause robotic handling problems
Especially convenient when working with foils; avoids curling that occurs with individual sheets
Economical; lower cost per plate than individual sheet seals or heat-seal films
Easier peel for removal compared to many heat-seal films
High-precision dispensing with automated sealers; consistent positioning on plates
Compatible with most current adhesive SBS plate sealers
Static-free manufacturing and packaging facilitates alignment and adhesion
Protective packaging prevents damage during shipping
Plastic cores eliminate corrugate fibre dust

ThermalSeal RTSTM sealing films are based on 50µm polyolefin films with 50µm inert encapsulated silicone adhesive. They are optically clear, with low auto-fluorescence, and are especially suited for real-time qPCR, storage, and protein crystallization applications. The encapsulated silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressed against the sealing surface, at which time adhesive is released only in sealing areas to form the strongest available heat-resistant seal around each well on the plate. Adhesive on non-sealing areas of the film, such as directly over sample wells, remains encapsulated and inert. Excel ThermalSeal RTS films are sized to fit within the edges of raised-rim 96-well plates. Their consistent high optical clarity makes possible reproducible, reliable, and consistent DNA amplification measurements and crystal detection. Two end tabs assist in positioning the film on the plate, and the non-tacky adhesive surface simplifies handling. Easy removal of the end tabs at perforated boundaries prevents lifting and higher evaporation rates that can occur with films that overlap the plate rim. Dimensions: 78.6 by 139.7mm. With end tabs removed, length is 113.0mm.
High optical clarity
Minimal to no auto-fluorescence
Chemically inert; no extractables except at extreme pH
DMSO resistant for HTS
Heat resistant, recommended for temperatures from -70C to +100C
Certified DNase, RNase, and nucleic-acid-free
Fit within raised plate rim to prevent loss of seal due to film lifting
Silicone adhesive forms the strongest available seal for evaporation prevention
Non-tacky adhesive layer simplifies handling of film prior to sealing
