JG Finneran Associates 96-Well PTFE Sealing Film

Busy researchers will welcome the 96-Well PTFE Sealing Film from JG Finneran Associates. The adhesive film features a design which seals samples in microplates during high-throughput bioanalytical studies without exposing them to the film’s sealing adhesive. Researchers simply peel and stick, securing samples against evaporation and cross-contamination.

The film is coated with a solvent-free adhesive that is precisely applied in a pattern to seal around each of the 96 wells, leaving the area over the sample free of adhesive. The sealing design prevents adhesive from fouling the pipette tip or sampling probe, minimising the amount of adhesive that comes in contact with the sample.

The adhesive is formulated to adhere to polypropylene, polystyrene and polycarbonate microplates. The inert PTFE film material is compatible with aqueous solutions and organic solvents and resistant to most laboratory chemicals, including DMSO, and has a functional temperature range of -80 to +120°C. Available in 2 and 5 mil thickness, the film is easily pierced by single- or multichannel pipettors and robotic probes.
