Grace Bio-Labs Silicone Isolators

Grace Bio-Labs’ Silicone Isolators allow researchers to isolate specimens using removable hydrophobic barriers. They may be used to isolate cells grown in culture dishes or separate multiple specimens affixed to microscope slides.

The isolators are available in red silicone, 0.5 to 2.5 mm thick, pre-cut or as sheet material with or without secure seal clean adhesive on one or both surfaces. Non-adhesive isolators are autoclavable and re-usable.

The isolators remain sealed to smooth surfaces during washing steps. Where additional sealing is required, SecureSeal adhesive on one or both surfaces is recommended. Closed chambers may be formed using flexible RNase free, HybriSlip covers. The recommended use temperature is -62 to 218°C.

Recommended applications include: protein and DNA microarrays, hydrogel, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), biopolymers and imaging.
