Transparent (Clear) and Pierceable Heat Sealing Film - Thin polyester heat sealing film, easily pierceable with autosampler needles/ABI® 3730; suitable for PCR, qPCR and optical applications. Our Transparent (Clear) and Pierceable Heat Sealing Film is an optically clear polyester backed film, forming a pierceable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefin 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 top based liquid handling systems. It is effective on the ABI (R) 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.
