Microsoft F-96-100 AlumaSeal 96 PCR Sealing Film

The AlumaSeal 96 Sealing Film (model F-96-100) is a laboratory consumable designed to provide tight, dependable seals on standard 96-well plates. Constructed from 38 µm aluminum foil bonded to a 38 µm acrylic adhesive layer, the film creates a secure barrier against evaporation and cross-contamination during thermal cycling, incubation, and sample storage. Its design allows it to fit inside the rim of raised-rim plates, sitting flush to prevent the edge lifting that can compromise seal integrity during high-temperature PCR protocols.

A key practical advantage of the aluminum construction is its pierceability — individual wells can be accessed with a pipette tip or needle without removing the entire seal, reducing the risk of contaminating adjacent samples. The film is both heat and cold resistant, maintaining adhesion and structural integrity across the temperature ranges encountered in standard PCR and storage applications. Supplied in packs of 100, the AlumaSeal 96 is a cost-effective choice for laboratories that require consistent, high-quality plate sealing on a daily basis.
