This is a silicone PCR anti-evaporation pad. It’s used for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) in the medical industry. It’s made entirely of transparent silicone material. It has a sheet-like structure. There are 9×11 circular protrusions on its surface. These protrusions are arranged neatly.These protrusions fit the recessed wells of microplates. This helps achieve tighter sealing. The PCR anti-evaporation pad is very flexible. This flexibility lets it be bent easily. It also lets it be attached to instruments like PCR plates.It’s a key part of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Equipment Accessories and IVD Seals. It provides sealing protection. This protection stops liquid from evaporating during PCR reactions. It meets the hygiene and functionality standards of medical silicone seal and Sterile Medical Seals.
Product Features
1. Function:In PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) experiments for medical in vitro diagnostics, the silicone PCR anti-evaporation pad is mainly used to cover the wells of PCR reaction plates.It can stop the liquid in the reaction wells from evaporating effectively. That liquid might be reagents or samples in the PCR reaction system. The evaporation would happen during the high-temperature amplification process.
Stopping evaporation avoids changes in the concentration of the reaction system. Those changes would be caused by liquid loss.This makes sure the PCR reaction is accurate and stable. It also makes sure the test results are reliable. This matches the protective role of Diagnostic Device Gaskets and Medical Vial Cap Seals in IVD sample protection.
2. Required Characteristics
1)Excellent Sealing PerformanceIt must fit tightly to the well openings of the PCR reaction plate. This forms an effective seal. The seal stops liquid from evaporating. It also blocks external contaminants from getting into the reaction wells. This sealing capability meets the strict standards of Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Sterile Medical Seals for IVD reaction systems.
2)High-Temperature ResistanceThe PCR reaction uses high temperatures. For example, the denaturation step usually happens above 90℃. The silicone pad must stand these high temperatures. It won’t deform, melt, or release harmful substances. It keeps stable performance. This high-temperature resilience meets the durability requirements of Medical Device Seals in high-heat IVD processes.
3)Chemical StabilityIt must work well with various chemical reagents used in PCR reactions. Like primers, enzymes, and buffers. It won’t have chemical reactions with these reagents. This stops the reaction system from being contaminated. It also stops the pad itself from being damaged by corrosion. This is consistent with the chemical resistance standards of IVD Seals and reagent-compatible medical components.
4)Flexibility and AdaptabilityIt should have good flexibility. This lets it cover PCR reaction plates of different specifications easily. It can also fit the shape of the wells closely. This makes sure each well has effective sealing. This adaptability meets the fitting requirements of Reagent Container Lids and multi-well IVD sealing accessories.
5)BiocompatibilityIt’s a medical in vitro diagnostic product. So it must have good biocompatibility. It shouldn’t have substances that affect biological samples or test results in a bad way. This makes sure the diagnostic process is biosafe. This biocompatibility matches the safety specifications of medical silicone seal and Sterile Medical Seals for biological sample contact.
6)Ease of OperationIt should be easy for laboratory staff to use. It’s easy to place on PCR plates. It’s also easy to remove from them. It won’t get damaged easily during operation. This usability meets the practical design standards of Freezer Tube Seals and user-friendly IVD equipment accessories.
