Silicone Isolators™ Sheet Material
Silicone isolator sheet material allows researchers to create their own removable hydrophobic barriers to isolate specimens. Where additional sealing is required, SecureSeal™ adhesive on one or both surfaces is recommended. Silicone isolator sheet material is also available in CultureWell™ “water-clear” silicone, which is highly recommended for sensitive cell culture applications.

Gaskets are ideal for forming wells on glass microscope slides or in polystyrene dishes. Gaskets are non-sterile and may be sterilized by autoclaving, UV or alcohol.

Silicone Isolators allow researchers to isolate specimens using removable hydrophobic barriers. They may be used to isolate cells grown in culture dishes or separate multiple specimens affixed to microscope slides. Isolators are available in red silicone thickness 0.5 to 2.5mm pre-cut or as sheet material with or without secure seal clean adhesive on one or both surfaces. Nonadhesive isolators are autoclavable and reusable.Silicone Isolators™ remain sealed to smooth surfaces during washing steps. Where additional sealing is required, SecureSeal™ adhesive on one or both surfaces is recommended.
FastWells™ are sticky, flexible silicone gaskets that form hydrophobic reagent barriers around specimens without messy adhesives or special slides. Gaskets may be stacked to increase depth and volume. FastWell™ Reagent Barriers provide rapid isolation of cells and tissues on slides or coverslips for antibody incubations. The barriers remain sealed during agitated washing steps, preventing reagents from spilling when shaken or rocked. FastWells™ peel off quickly and cleanly, leaving no residue to interfere with specimen cover-slipping. They can be washed, autoclaved and reused. The barriers can also be sealed to form incubation chambers using flexible HybriSlip™ covers.
These adhesive sheets are made using the same SecureSeal™ adhesive as is used to make HybriWell™ and SecureSeal™ Incubation Chambers. Thin, double-sided tape on a non-woven carrier. Clear, polyester liner on one surface, white clay coated paper on the other. SecureSeal™ Sheets consist of various thickness to choose from. These double sided adhesive sheets measure 7 x 10 inches.
