Thermo Scientific Microplate Adhesive Film Clear Total of 400 Plate Seals

Thermo Scientific Nunc 236366 Microplate Sealing Tape (Sterile)

The Thermo Scientific 236366 is a premium polyester sealing film engineered for the secure protection of samples in 96-well and 384-well microplates. Optimized for cell culture and sterile laboratory workflows, this clear adhesive tape provides a robust barrier against evaporation and cross-contamination. Featuring a specialized pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, the film is easy to handle and only forms a permanent bond upon the application of pressure, preventing accidental sticking during alignment. Its high-clarity polyester construction allows for visual inspection of well contents while maintaining a sterile environment for sensitive biological assays.

Technical Performance and Design

• Pressure-Sensitive Acrylic Adhesive: The adhesive layer is formulated to be non-tacky to the touch, only bonding securely to the plate once pressure is applied with an applicator or palm, allowing for precise, mess-free alignment.

• Exceptional Evaporation Control: Significantly reduces fluid loss during long-term incubation or storage, ensuring that reagent concentrations and osmotic balances remain stable for reproducible results.

• High Optical Clarity: The transparent polyester material allows for unobstructed visual monitoring of sample color changes or cell growth without removing the seal.

• Broad Temperature Resilience: Validated for use across a wide range of laboratory conditions, typically performing reliably from -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for both cold storage and heated incubation.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Cell Culture & Incubation: The sterile, non-toxic adhesive is ideal for protecting cell cultures during gas-tight incubation periods where evaporation must be minimized.

• ELISA & Assay Processing: Provides a secure seal during vigorous plate shaking or transport, preventing well-to-well contamination and spillage.

• Sample Storage: Offers a durable, peelable closure for short-to-medium term storage of reagents and biological samples at room temperature or in refrigerators.

• Aseptic Handling: Individually protected to ensure the adhesive surface remains sterile until the moment of application, critical for high-stakes genomic or microbiological research.
