‘F’ Sealing Foil
for PCR Plates
This aluminized foil serves as an exceptional barrier against evaporation from –70°C to
105°C. It is thin enough to pierce with a pipet tip to recover samples from individual wells.
Minimum recommended PCR sample volumes are 25 µl in 96-well PCR plates and 5 µl in
384-well plates.
Directions for Use
1. Remove white liner and place adhesive surface over wells.
2. Apply pressure with fingers or soft rubber roller to complete contact with each well.
3. Close the heated lid and apply pressure. When using MJ thermal cyclers with adjustable
heated lids, turn the thumbwheel until the lid contacts the plate — when an increase in
resistance is first felt. Continue to turn the thumbwheel about 1/2–3/4 turn past the point
of first contact (1/4 of the thumbwheel circumference is visible, so two passes of the visible
portion equals 1/2 turn).
4. If evaporation occurs at the edges, tighten lid an additional 1/4 turn of the thumbwheel.
