Adhesive Aluminum Sealing Foil

Adhesive aluminum sealing foil provides an opaque microplate cover applied without a heat sealer. Compare standard assay, cold-storage and reinforced storage constructions within this family, while keeping their operating limits separate.

  • Opaque aluminum layer: Useful when the workflow requires a nontransparent cover.
  • No heat-sealer requirement: Apply liner-backed adhesive sheets by hand using a suitable pressing tool.
  • Grade-specific access: Choose peel removal or piercing requirements before ordering.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Adhesive aluminum sealing foil provides an opaque microplate cover applied without a heat sealer. Compare standard assay, cold-storage and reinforced storage constructions within this family, while keeping their operating limits separate.

Product Highlights

  • Opaque aluminum layer. Useful when the workflow requires a nontransparent cover.
  • No heat-sealer requirement. Apply liner-backed adhesive sheets by hand using a suitable pressing tool.
  • Grade-specific access. Choose peel removal or piercing requirements before ordering.
  • Storage and assay options. Reinforced storage foil is not automatically suitable for PCR.

Structure and Functional Design

Component Function
Aluminum layer Forms the opaque barrier and determines handling and piercing characteristics.
Adhesive layer Must match the plate material and intended temperature/chemical exposure.
Liner and pull area Protect the adhesive before application and provide a handling edge.

Technical Specifications and Selection Guide

Use the configurations below to specify your inquiry. Dimensions and thicknesses are reference configurations, not a guarantee of stock or universal compatibility. The selected grade, usable sealing area, packaging and operating limits will be confirmed in the quotation and product specification.

Option Nominal thickness Sheet size (mm) Important distinction
Cold-storage adhesive foil reference 70 ± 10 µm 146 × 80 Qualification depends on sample chemistry and storage duration.
Standard adhesive foil reference 80 ± 15 µm 133 × 80 Single-tab reference; confirm assay and temperature suitability.
Reinforced storage option Grade-specific Confirm current drawing Not recommended for PCR; request the current specification.
Item Selection information
Sealing method Manual adhesive sealing, not thermal sealing
Reference pack 100 sheets/box for listed reference configurations
Optical reading Opaque; not for fluorescence detection through the foil
Access method Specify peeling or piercing and the tool used

Applications

Consider adhesive foil for covered sample plates, light-sensitive reagent handling and validated storage or assay workflows. For PCR, select a specifically qualified assay foil rather than the reinforced storage option.

Application and Compatibility Checklist

  1. Select the exact grade using the plate resin, contents, temperature and hold time.
  2. Apply to a dry, clean rim and press the entire sealing area, including perimeter wells.
  3. If piercing is required, assess your tip or needle, penetration force, foil fragments and liquid carryover.
  4. Do not infer cryogenic suitability from aluminum construction. Validate cold storage, solvents and transport separately.
Selection note: The reinforced storage option previously listed separately is not recommended for PCR. A heat-sealing foil is a different construction and cannot be substituted for this adhesive family without a compatible heat-sealing process.

Product Image Notes

Standard adhesive foil shown as liner-backed sheets and on demonstration plates. Foil well impressions are not open holes. Plates not included.

Ordering Information

For a useful quotation, send your plate model or drawing, preferred film construction, sheet size or roll-feed requirements, application conditions, quantity and destination country. For heat-seal products, include the sealer model. If lot-specific quality documents or special packaging are required, list them in the inquiry so they can be checked for the selected grade.

Evaluate a representative sample under your actual workflow before changing a qualified laboratory consumable. A general family description does not replace grade-specific test data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are standard and reinforced foils interchangeable?

No. Thickness, adhesive and removal behavior can differ. State the intended workflow so the quotation identifies a specific grade.

Can I use it for qPCR?

Opaque foil does not support top-read fluorescence through the cover. Follow the instrument’s sealing requirements.

Is it suitable for liquid nitrogen or DMSO?

Neither is claimed for every foil. Those conditions require evidence for the exact film, plate, contents and storage duration.
