Applied Biosystems MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Film is designed to reduce well-to-well contamination and sample evaporation. The easy-to-use film is applied by peeling away the backing and firmly pressing the adhesive film across the top of a microplate. This tight seal will help ensure consistent real-time PCR data without obscuring samples during reading, and the protective covering allows microplates to be more easily stacked for space-saving convenience and storage.

Features

  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive provides a tight seal over every well
  • Will not interfere with sample reading
  • Easy-to-apply film will not stick to gloves
  • Prevents sample loss and reduces cross-contamination
  • Designed to fit MicroAmp 96- and 384-well plates

Notes

Thermo Fisher Scientific has performed exhaustive functional testing regarding minor visual inconsistencies (e.g., wrinkles, line impressions, haziness, white spots, etc.) of the MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Film that may result from removal of the liner or application to a plate. These minor visual inconsistencies do not affect the performance of the adhesive tape. Should you have any additional questions, please contact Technical Support.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I correctly apply MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers to an optical 96- or 384-well plate?

Please follow the instructions below for the proper application of MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (Cat. Nos. 4311971, 4313663 and 4360954).

The MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Cover uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing to adhere the cover to the optical 96- or 384-well plate. It is imperative that you use enough force to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive to prevent evaporation from the wells.
Please note: Users should not expect the Optical Adhesive Cover to be very sticky to the touch on the side that adheres to the optical plate.

The correct way to apply the cover is as follows:

1. Apply firm pressure when using the Adhesive Seal Applicator (Cat. No. 4333183) to press the cover onto the plate.

2. Run the applicator firmly from left to right several times. Run the applicator up and down several times.

3. Run the edge of the applicator around the border (following the red line outside the wells) of the cover.

4. Repeat the left to right and up and down motions to assure a good final seal.

5. Inspect each well to make sure that each well edges are imprinted on the optical adhesive cover.
Please Note: Using the Applicator's edge to seal between the wells is NOT recommended. It may actually pull the seal off the wells.

What is the difference between the MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers and the MicroAmp Optical Caps? Can they be used interchangeably?

The MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (P/N 4311971) have a higher optical efficiency than the MicroAmp Optical Caps, (8 caps/strip) (P/N 4323032). They can be used instead of the MicroAmp Optical Caps only when using the MicroAmp 96-Well Reaction Plate with Barcode (P/N 4306737, 4309849) or the MicroAmp Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate (P/N N801-0560). The Optical Adhesive Covers cannot be used with the MicroAmp Optical Tubes.
