Thermo Scientific™ Optical Adhesive Film, for Piko PCR plates
Description
The exceptionally clear Thermo ScientificPiko PCR/qPCR Film Seal allows high transmission of fluorescence across the range of commonly-used fluorophores. When used with aPiko Thermal CyclerorPikoReal Real-Time PCR System, sample volumes as low as 5μL can be used with minimal evaporative loss. These optical adhesive films are available in the ¼-size format for Piko PCR Plates.
Highlights
- Optical clarity with minimal auto-fluorescence for real-time PCR applications
- Tight sealing for sample volumes as low as 5µL
- Adhesive backing allows easy application without costly sealing devices
- Cryo-compatible adhesive is effective to –80°C

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Whilst Thermo Scientific adhesive seals are manufactured in a clean facility, they are not certified free of DNase, RNase, and human DNA.
To prevent evaporation when using adhesive seals, firm application pressure must be applied to establish robust adhesive contact and bond strength around well rims. Adhesive seals such as ABsolute qPCR Seal (Cat. No. AB-1170) require sufficient pressure due to their non-tacky, pressure-sensitive adhesive. Adhesive Seal Applicator (Cat. No. AB-1391) or a similar tool may be used for optimal application of the seals. Alternatively, we recommend Thermo Scientific VersiCap Mats which show low sample evaporation with the performance of a cap. VersiCap Mats (Cat. Nos. AB-1810, AB-1815, AB-1820) offer comparable convenience and are easier to apply uniformly than adhesive seals.
