Evaporation. Cross-contamination. Seal failure at -80°C.
These are common PCR and microplate workflow problems. They often come down to how a plate is sealed.
As assay sensitivity increases and sample volumes shrink, a seal that fails under thermal cycling or in cold storage can compromise an entire run.
Not all heat seal films are equal. Material certification, temperature range, seal strength, and format compatibility all matter.
We broke down what to look for.
