Polypropylene Storage Plates, Seals, and Plate Sealers

Thermo Scientific 48, 96 and 384 well polypropylene storage microplates and deepwell plates are an economical and reliable solution for sample storage, high-throughput screening and low-binding assays in drug discovery, molecular biology and genomic applications. They are made with virgin medical grade polypropylene resin to reduce extractables and leachables interacting with samples. 

Thermo Scientific Abgene polypropylene storage plates are Class 8 clean room manufactured and human DNA free to ensure the absence of contamination for molecular biology applications. Thermo Scientific Nunc storage plates have over 40 years of quality in plastics manufacturing, offering one of the highest sterility assurance levels in the industry for cell-based applications (SAL 10-6).

Plate sealing is important for researchers who wish to protect plate contents either temporarily, or longer term, to avoid contamination and/or evaporation. Manual workflows benefit from adhesive seals that can be applied quickly over the surface of the plate. Other short-term options are cap mats or polystyrene lids to protect the well contents.

Heat sealing provides an extra level of security over sticky adhesives and cap mats due to the uniformity of sealing.

Heat seals are adhered using one single application of heat. ABgene Storage Plates were designed with a raised rim around each well that enables bonding of the seal to the well, as well as an extremely flat surface to ensure a consistent seal across the entire surface of the plate. Our range of heat seals offers many material options including pierceable, clear, and very strong seals.
