Find sealing films and accessories for sealing multiwell plates to offer protection against evaporation, contamination, and leakage. Self-adhesive films provide an extra secure sealing and can easily be applied on the plates with a paddle to ensure secure and uniform attachment. The sealing films are available in different materials especially suited for PCR, storage, immunoassay, or cell and tissue culture.
If microplates, PCR and deep-well plates need not only to be covered, but also securely sealed, self-adhesive sealing films are available. These film sheets can be easily applied on the plates and removed also without the use of expensive equipment.

BRAND offers PCR tubes and strips with domed and flat caps. Plates can be sealed with self-adhesive sealing films and sealing mats made of TPE or silicone.
To ensure protection against evaporation and to protect the samples from contamination, the sealing films are very adhesive and cannot be reused. The reuse carries a high risk of contamination.
The pierceability depends on the material and the thickness. BRAND offers a variety of pierceable foils that allow easy removal of samples. There are aluminum films (781381) or films with a non-sticky zone (701370) that are very easy to pierce. There is also a film with precut openings (701374), which are used for repeated removal. Further information can be found in the sealing film brochure.
We recommend the highly transparent and pressure-sensitive film (781391) during a qPCR. This enables reliable evaporation protection and maximum transparency for reliable measurement results.
