X-Pierce™
Precut Pierceable Sealing Films for Automation
- Useful for protecting contents of plate from contamination during multiple manual reagent additions over time
- X-PierceTM sealing films are 89 µm thick vinyl with a 18 µm thick adhesive layer
- Designed for temporary protection from contamination and evaporation for samples in 96-well plates
- A precut "X" over each well creates four flaps that easily bend downward when pushed by a robotic probe or pipet tip
- Allowing sample access without coring or adhesive fouling
- A thin adhesive layer and special hairline cuts separating the X-Pierce flaps combine to prevent probes from contacting adhesive and becoming occluded
- The flaps return to their original position after sampling for continued protection
- For long-term sample protection after sampling, a continuous sealing film should be applied as a second layer. Dimension are 79.4 x 145.5 mm
