Applied Biosystems™ MicroAmp™ Optical Adhesive Film Kit
Description
Includes
MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (quantity 20), Applicator (quantity 1), MicroAmp Optical Cover Compression Pad (quantity 1)
- MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Film reduces the chance of well-to-well contamination and sample evaporation when applied to a microplate
- MicroAmp Optical Film Compression Pads are designed to support a proper thermal seal between the thermal cycler and reaction plates when using adhesive films
- MicroAmp Adhesive Film Applicator is used to form a tight seal between a microplate and an adhesive film
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive provides a tight seal over every well
- Will not interfere with sample reading
- Press-N-Seal: Align properly to the plate, then press to seal
- Easy to apply—does not stick to your glove
Prevent Loss of Precious Samples
- Use this optically clear adhesive film to seal the samples into the wells of a microplate to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination between sample wells and help ensure consistent real-time PCR data
- Easy to Use
- Simply peel the backing away from the adhesive film and apply film firmly across the top of your microplate
- Stack microplates and read samples as you would normally except with less chance of sample contamination
- MicroAmp Optical Film Compression Pads are designed to support a proper thermal seal between the thermal cycler and reaction plates when using adhesive films
- Use the MicroAmp Adhesive Film Applicator to form a tight seal between a microplate and the adhesive film
- The MicroAmp Adhesive Film Applicator enables use to ergonomically push an adhesive film down on a microplate to form a tight seal and minimize air bubbles. This tight seal will prevent well-to-well contamination and sample loss
- Quick and Easy
- Use the MicroAmp Adhesive Film Applicator to speed the process of sealing multiple microplates
- This tool is designed according to the microplate dimensions so microplate can be quickly sealed
- The rugged proprietary plastic endures constant use for large screening applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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.
No. The Optical Adhesive Film is recommended for use only with the MicroAmp Optical 96-well Reaction Plate (with or without barcode) and MicroAmp 384-well Optical Reaction Plate.
