Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 222-8201-MIC is the EZ-Seal™ Acrylic Adhesive Film for standard SBS-format microplates (96-well, 384-well, etc.), sterile, individually packed, 50/Box. Adhesive plate sealers provide an alternative to physical lids for microplate closure during incubation, assay development, and transport — the acrylic adhesive on inert polyester film bonds to the plate rim, providing a contamination barrier and evaporation control without the height overhead of a stacked lid. This is the standard sealer format for lidless plate formats (222-8050/51/52 series) and for automation platforms where lid stacking is not compatible with robotic arms.
Inert polyester film with acrylic adhesive: chemical resistance across standard biological reagents, clean release without adhesive residue on the plate rim, compatible with plate reader bottom-read formats where the sealer does not interfere. Individually packed for sterility assurance per film. BPA-free, FDA-compliant,
Procurement economics: $58.63/Box (50 films), $1.1726/film. LabSupplies.com ships from USA inventory, typically same business day.

EZ-Seal™ Plate Sealer Film Applications
The acrylic adhesive film seals standard SBS microplates for the following incubation, storage, and transport workflows.
| Application | Setting / Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lidless plate sealing | 96-well lidless plates (222-8050/51/52 series) | Seal during incubation without a physical lid |
| Evaporation control | Long incubations, 37°C or higher | Acrylic adhesive seals the plate rim for evaporation barrier |
| Automated platform | Robotic arm, foil sealer compatible | No lid height overhead — adhesive film for automation |
| Storage sealing | —20°C / —80°C plate storage | Acrylic film maintains seal at low storage temperatures |
| Transport sealing | Plate transport between labs or sites | Adhesive seal prevents well contamination in transit |
| 384-well plate sealing | 384-well plates, tight rim seal needed | Acrylic adhesive conforms to narrower 384-well plate rim |
| Plate reader compatible | Bottom-read plate reader, sealed plate | Film over wells does not interfere with bottom-read optics |
Chemical Resistance — Inert Polyester Film / Acrylic Adhesive
Compatibility reference at typical laboratory conditions.
| Reagent / Condition | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aqueous buffers / media | Excellent | Inert polyester + acrylic adhesive: compatible with standard biological buffers. |
| Cell culture media | Excellent | Compatible at standard CO2 incubator conditions. |
| Formalin (10%) | Good | Short-term contact compatible for fixation plates. |
| Ethanol (<70%) | Good | Short-term compatible. |
| DMSO (<1%) | Good | Compatible at standard assay concentrations. |
| Cold storage (—80°C) | Good | Acrylic adhesive maintains seal at frozen storage temperatures. |
| Acetone / chloroform | Limited | Avoid organic solvent contact with adhesive layer. |
| Microplate rim (PS/PP/PC) | Excellent | Acrylic adhesive bonds to standard SBS plate rim materials. |
Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen EZ-Seal™ acrylic adhesive films serve cell biology, high-throughput screening, and automation laboratories as the standard plate-sealing solution for lidless microplate formats. ELISA laboratories using adhesive film sealers instead of lids during antibody coating and blocking incubations benefit from the evaporation control and contamination barrier that the acrylic adhesive provides without the handling overhead of physical lids. Automated liquid handling platforms use adhesive sealers when the lid-height clearance of a stacked physical lid would interfere with overhead robotic arms or plate hotel stacking systems. Frozen plate storage at —80°C uses adhesive sealers to maintain well integrity during extended cryogenic storage of cell and compound libraries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the EZ-Seal™ films sterile?
Yes. Sterile — each film individually packed, 50/Box.
Is the EZ-Seal™ film compatible with 384-well plates as well as 96-well?
Yes. The EZ-Seal™ acrylic adhesive film is compatible with standard SBS-format plates including 96-well and 384-well formats. The acrylic adhesive conforms to the plate rim regardless of well density. Verify coverage area for very wide plate rims.
Can the EZ-Seal™ film be used for frozen plate storage at —80°C?
Yes. The acrylic adhesive on inert polyester maintains its bond at —80°C for standard frozen plate storage. Apply the sealer at room temperature, allow to bond fully, then transfer to frozen storage. Some adhesive films show reduced adhesion if applied cold — apply before freezing.
