Porvair Adhesive Seals
All pictures shown are for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary.
Porvair adhesive seals are polymer or aluminium foil sheets coated with adhesives that will adhere to the upper plate surface. They are inexpensive, easy to use and easy to remove.
Many assays are not suitable for adhesive seals because no adhesive must come into contact with the sample. The pattern printed adhesive seal gets over this by having no applied adhesive in the well area. Adhesives are not normally suitable for aggressive solvents either as these may dissolve the glue layer. Just like other seals, adhesive seals can be supplied prescored for easy piercing by a pipette.
Adhesive seals can be applied over the top of an existing seal, so plate re-sealing is easy. Adhesive seals are available in aluminium, clear and black finish, or pattern-printed PTFE, to suit the application.
