* Validated with the PX1 PCR Plate Sealer
Chill-out Liquid Wax provides an excellent vapor barrier that may be used instead of mineral oil in thermal cyclers without heated lids. After cycling, the tubes are chilled below 10°C to harden the wax. The solid layer protects samples from spills or aerosol formation but is easy to penetrate with a pipet tip for sample retrieval.
- Clear formulation for use in fluorescence assays such as real-time PCR
- Bright red formulation for high visibility when recovering reaction products
Note: Chill-out Wax is not recommended for sealing Microseal 384-Well PCR Plates.
