Product Applications

The typical use for this product is in the sealing of microplates and other geometries used in PCR testing. This product may also be used in other diagnostics devices including ELISA, lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip systems.

Application Notes

The silicone adhesive is non tacky to the touch, but will bond aggressively to a plastic or glass surface with the application of firm pressure (25+ psi). Pressure may be applied with a roller to minimize the introduction of air bubbles.

Features and Benefits

  • Non-tacky to skin and gloves

  • Chemically inert and resistant to solvents commonly used in PCR (DMSO, formamide, etc.)

  • Good temperature resistance up to 110°C and withstands thermocycling

  • Low haze, high transmission and high clarity

  • Low autofluorescence

  • Adheres to a wide variety of substrates
