Thermo Scientific™ Abgene™ seals minimize evaporation and protect samples from contamination and spilling. Adhesive seals seal all microplate formats and are ideal for all assay applications. Heat seals for ALPS™ microplate heat sealing instruments are ideal for storage applications and provide an extra level of security over adhesive seals and cap mats due to a more uniform sealing. Plates need a raised rim around each well to enable the bonding of the seal to the well.
