Overview

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective

• Our Clear Heat Seal is an optically clear laminate film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates

• Samples can also be accessed by pre-piercing with a blade, needle or our Pierce Plate (4ti-0398)

• The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays

• The Clear Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling both low temperature uses, including low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid)

• This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature

• This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer

• Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer

• Our sheet seals are inter-leaved with paper sheets to help denote which side is the sealing side and aid removal of one sheet at a time from the pack

• For applications requiring high tensile strength (e.g. bead mill applications) please see our Clear Heat Seal Plus
