Alpha Laboratories launches new range of heat-sealed films for microplates

Protect your precious samples with the comprehensive new range of plate seals now available from Alpha Laboratories. These high-performance heat-sealing films and foils are designed to meet the needs of your modern life sciences laboratory.

When sealing using heat, films or foils are welded to the microplate to produce a secure and effective seal. Heat sealing can preserve your costly reagents and valuable samples, by creating an airtight and chemically resistant seal, without the complications of using adhesives. Use heat sealing to protect your well contents from evaporation, condensation, oxidation and cross-contamination during experiments, transport or storage.

All of these films and foils are available in 125mm x 78mm individual sheets, which fit all standard SBS microplates. Seals are also available in roll formats for high throughput applications.

With a variety of materials used, the range includes products suitable for PCR, qPCR, peeling, piercing, low or high temperature storage, transport and temporary or long-term protection. All products are certified free from nuclease and DNA except where specified.

Available with application specific features in individual sheets or rolls, these films are suitable for numerous low, medium & high-throughput needs.
