General description

A 140 μm thick hydrophobic porous sealing film with medical-grade adhesive for tissue culture plates, bio-blocks, and 96-well plates where gas exchange is necessary for cell or bacterial growth. AeraSeal™ sealing films minimize cross-contamination, spillage and evaporation. They allow uniform air and CO2 exchange for all wells, unlike plate lids which favor exchange for wells near the plate edges. Dimensions: 82.6 by 142.9 mm for standard-size tissue culture plate
  • non-cytotoxic, highly gas permeable
  • easily pierceable with pipet tips or pipets for sample recovery
  • recommended for temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C


Note: AeraSeal™ films are suitable for hypoxic culture conditions.

Application

  • AeraSeal™ films have been used for the covering of 96-well opaque white plates to incubate bacterial cells.
  • It has been used for the sealing of 96 deep-well plate for culturing of yeast cells.
  • It has been used for the sealing of 96-well microtitre plate to separate mites.

Features and Benefits

AeraSeal™ film is:
  • Sterile, non-cytotoxic and highly gas permeable for widest range of cultures
  • Easily pierceable for sample recovery with pipette tips or pipettes
  • Can be used from incubator to freezer - withstands temperatures from −20 °C to +80 °C

In the absence of antibiotic-mediated selection, sensitive bacteria are expected to displace their resistant counterparts if resistance genes are costly. However, many resistance genes persist for long periods in the absence of antibiotics. Horizontal gene transfer (primarily conjugation) could explain

The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, is a hematophagous ectoparasite considered as the major pest in the egg-laying industry. Its pesticide-based control is only partially successful and requires the development of new control interventions such as vaccines. In this
