Heat Sealing Films - Roll Format - Transparent Pierceable Film for Abi 3730, 5M x 78mm

Heat Sealing Films

Porvair Sciences offers a range of films for plates and tubes suited for many types of plates and tubes. There are 4 main types of heat sealing films; clear, strong (Dura), heavy duty and gas permeable with several variations to add flexibility and compatibility to suit all requirements for sample storage and collection.

When heat is applied, a tight seal is formed on polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclin olefin copolymer (COC) plates. These seals prevent atmospheric contamination, moisture ingress or further drying of the sample, especially in low temperature storage conditions.

Transparent Pierceable Film for Abi 3730

The Transparent Pierceable Film is a thin polyester heat sealing fi lm, easily pierceable with autosampler needles/ABI® 3730; suitable for PCR, qPCR and optical applications.

• The Clear and Pierceable heat sealing fi lm is an optically clear polyester backed fi lm, forming a pierceable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefi n copolymer (COC) plates.
• 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.
• Its pierceability renders it useful for automation and for use on needle, capillary and tip based liquid handling systems.
• It is eff ective on the ABI® 3730 capillary sequencer, removing the need for the use of expensive septa mats.
• It demonstrates a moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage.
