Foil Seals, Peelable for PP Plates (MS1000-F1, 100/pk)

The MS1000-F1 is the standard peelable foil seal film for the Accuris SmartSeal MS1000 Semi-Automated Plate Sealer — sold as pack of 100 seal films. The foil seal is the workhorse seal-film consumable for general microplate-sealing workflows on polypropylene (PP) plates — peelable design supports easy seal-removal after the workflow stage requiring sealing (storage, shipping, incubation), and the foil construction provides a robust evaporation barrier for typical microplate-sealing applications.

Per SmartSeal brochure recommended setting for foil seals: 175 °C, 3 seconds (starting parameters; actual settings should be tuned per workflow plate-seal combination).

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Foil seal consumable — SmartSeal chassis only. Order this SKU when commissioning a new SmartSeal chassis (an initial foil-seal supply supports general-purpose sealing startup) and for workflow-recurring replenishment — every plate-sealing cycle consumes one seal film, so pack-quantity reorder cadence tracks workflow throughput. It fits general-purpose ELISA / immunoassay plate storage where peelable foil sealing is sufficient (no extreme cold storage, no DMSO compatibility required), standard-format PP plate workflows for sample storage, shipping, or short-term incubation, and multi-chassis facilities that maintain centralized foil-seal inventory.

MS1000-F1 vs MS1000-F2 — Pick the Right Foil Seal

Pick the MS1000-F1 (this product) when:

• General-purpose plate storage, shipping, or short-term incubation
• Workflows requiring easy seal-removal after the sealed stage
• Standard temperature ranges (room temp to ~80 °C)
• Aqueous-buffer plate storage (no DMSO, no organic solvents)

Pick the MS1000-F2 instead for long-term cryogenic storage at -80 °C or -200 °C (cell-suspension cryopreservation, compound libraries), DMSO-sample storage, or workflows requiring extra-strong evaporation / contamination barriers.

Recommended Sealing Setting

Per SmartSeal brochure: 175 °C, 3 seconds for "Most Foil Seals" (the recommended starting setting for the MS1000-F1 family). Actual settings may need adjustment for plate brand and material (different PP plates may have slightly different surface chemistry), plate height (taller plates may need slightly longer seal time for full pressure transfer), and plate-fill volume (fuller plates dissipate heat differently than empty plates). Tune within the chassis's 80–200 °C / 0.5–10 s range per workflow plate-seal combination.

Application Profile

ELISA plate storage — sealed ELISA plates can be stored or shipped between facilities without sample evaporation or contamination.

Sample-incubation workflows — workflows where samples need to be sealed during incubation steps (shaking, heating, or extended-time incubation) benefit from foil-seal coverage to prevent evaporation.

Microplate shipping — sealed plates ship between facilities (collaborator labs, CRO transfer, multi-site studies) with sample integrity preserved.

Sample-storage workflows — short-term to medium-term sample storage at room temperature or refrigeration where peelable foil sealing is sufficient.

Multi-investigator core facility — shared SmartSeal facilities benefit from MS1000-F1 inventory for general-purpose workflows; pair with MS1000-F2 for cold-storage workflows.

Educational laboratory plate sealing — undergraduate / graduate molecular-biology coursework benefits from peelable foil sealing for student-cohort plate-storage exercises.

Ordering & Configuration

Per-plate workflow consumable. Each plate-sealing cycle consumes one seal film; pack of 100 films supports 100 plate-sealing cycles before reorder.

Pair with chassis-included plate adapters. The MS1000 chassis ships with both standard plate adapter and PCR plate adapter; the MS1000-F1 foil seal is suitable for the standard plate adapter workflow.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (MS1000 in inventory), workflow plate format (PP plate compatibility), workflow temperature requirements (drives MS1000-F1 vs MS1000-F2 decision), and lead time.
