Porvair MicroBurst™ Microencapsulated clear sealing Film :
Using adhesive seals whilst wearing laboratory
gloves can prove to be difficult. The glued surface
of the seal can easily stick to your glove rather than
your microplate. Porvair MicroBurst™ films
eliminate this problem. When first handled,
MicroBurst™ is not tacky and will not stick to
anything. Only when you are satisfied that the film
is in the correct place do you press down hard to
activate the MicroBurst™ adhesive. Millions of tiny
spheroids contain the adhesive and these
“microcapsules” burst under applied pressure to
release the adhesive just where you want it and
not all over your gloves!
The patented MicroBurst™ technology is being
offered for the first time in a Life Science
laboratory by Porvair Sciences. The clear film has
excellent optical properties and once activated,
produces a very firm seal which quickly strengths
to form a near-permanent seal on your plates.
MicroBurst™ film can be pierced by pipette tips or
robot liquid handlers and is temperature stable –
making it ideal for PCR work.
