Ideal for PCR, qPCR (real-time) and storage

An economical and more user-friendly alternative to PCR strip caps; no sore thumbs and fingers guaranteed! Designed for PCR, qPCR and storage. Precision cut to a smaller dimension for sealing one PCR 8-tube strip or a single 96-well plate row to prevent accidental pipetting or to re-seal rows that have been pierced. SealStrips remove easily and cleanly with no splash back as can occur with strip caps. Each sheet contains 8 strips on a continuous backing liner for ease of use. Strips can be peeled individually or two-at-a-time for increased efficiency. Features two end-tabs with perforations for ease of handling, application and removal. Certified DNase- & RNase- free.

A non-locking workstation is recommended for sample prep (e.g. 96 round-well PCR plate or deep-well storage plate). In order to minimize evaporation, we recommend removing the end-tabs at the perforations before cycling. Because 8-tube strips can flex when loading them into the cycler, a final sealing step is highly recommended. If properly used and applied, SealStrips provide an excellent secure seal to minimize sample loss; evaporation rates are comparable to or better than strip caps.
