When sealing using heat, films or foils are welded to the microplate to produce a secure and effective seal. Heat sealing can preserve costly reagents and valuable samples, because it creates an airtight and chemically resistant seal, without the complications of using adhesives. Heat sealing protects the well contents from evaporation, condensation, oxidation and cross-contamination during experiments, transport or storage.

The Heat2Seal range also includes porous gas permeable films for sealing polypropylene and polystyrene culture plates. These are ideal for short term incubation, agriculture/seed storage, insect storage and cell culture.

All Heat2Seal products are available in 125mm x 78mm individual sheets, which fit all standard SBS microplates. Seals are also available in roll formats for high throughput applications.
