Optical Film Compression Pad 5 mats

The Optical Film Compression Pad is a soft silicone foam mat laminated to a non-stick PTFE film. When used in conjunction with an adhesive seal – for instance the qPCR Adhesive Seal (4ti-0560) – and a thermal cycler heated lid, the pad enhances the adhesion between the seal and the PCR plate. This in turn improves results by reducing sample evaporation. The 96 holes align with the wells of the PCR plate, ensuring the mat is compatible with qPCR instrumentation which image through the top of the well.
