The range of heat-sealing films for microplates and tubes from Porvair Sciences, Wrexham, UK, now includes clear, strong (Dura), heavy duty, and gas permeable products with several variations to add flexibility and compatibility to suit all requirements for sample storage and collection. When heat is applied to these products, a tight seal is formed on polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and cyclin olefin copolymer microplates and tubes.
- Optically clear films from Porvair are available in a variety of formats including peelable and pierceable and strong non-peelable. These seals are ideal for a wide range of applications including imaging, fluorescence, colorimetric assays and PCR/qPCR. All clear seals are also compatible with devices that use a heat-pressurized lid.
- The Dura range of durable foil-based, heat-sealing films are ideal for high temperature applications and room temperature storage. They come in a variety of formats including peelable, solvent resistant (including DMSO), and pierceable. All the Dura heat sealing films are autoclavable.
- The HD Heat seal is designed for long-term storage and transportation and offers the strongest protection of any of the Porvair range. Key properties of HD Heat seals include high resistance to a broad range of solvents, wide seal integrity range (80°C to 110°C) for polypropylene plates, and durability.
- The Bio Pierce and Peel seal is specially designed for use in cell culture applications. Based upon a nonwoven gas permeable material which limits evaporation, the porous properties of the Bio Pierce and Peel seal allow gas exchange to occur while providing an inert surface and no adhesive to interfere with the microplate well contents.
