A 36 µm soft non-permeable aluminum foil sealing film with 28 µm layer of strong medical-grade acrylic adhesive, AlumasSeal IITM sealing films eliminate the need for heat-sealing devices or mats during thermal cycling. Each sealing film measures 82.6 x 146.1 mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all PCR plates. Length between the perforations with end tabs removed is 125.4 mm. Compared to other aluminum foils, AlumaSeal II has less tendency to roll back or itself when removing the backing paper and conforms well to the plate during application. Sterile product is packaged in 100 µm tamper-evident bags of 25.

* Completing application of AlumaSeal CS sealing films by pressing with the accessory plate roller assures a secure uniform seal around all wells.

AlumaSeal CSTM sealing films are specially formulated 50 µm aluminum foil sealing films with a 50 µm layer of acrylic adhesive that withstands cold storage at temperatures to -80 °C. Unlike other sealing films in the AlumaSeal group, AlumaSeal CS sealing films are not recommended for PCR or thermocycling. A single non-perforated end tab simplifies application. Simply hold the tab and strip the backing from the body of the sealing film as it lays on the plate to avoid curling. Dimensions are 82.6 by 132.6 mm, including the single 9.5 mm end tab. Recommended temperature range: -80 °C to +120 °C. AlumaSeal CS sealing films are certified DNase-, RNase-, and nucleic-acid-free. Sterile product is packaged in tamperevident zippered bags of 25, two bags per box.

• specially formulated for cold storage to -80 °C
• excellent barrier properties to retard evaporation
• easily pierceable with pipet tips or robotic probes for sample recovery
