Piko-sized heat seal are products from ABgene, ThermoFisher Scientific. Real-time polymerase chain reaction, or quantitative PCR is used to quantify the amplification of a specific DNA sequence. The amplification is measured using fluorescent probes and reporter dyes. The reaction uses components of the conventional PCR like a thermostable DNA polymerase, dNTPs and primers. Real-time PCR is used in diagnostics, gene expression studies, SNP genotyping, etc.PCR plates are used for setting several PCR mixes together. Piko-sized heat seal from ThermoFisher are provided for effective sealing of PCR plates. The product has the following properties:

- The seals are clear and allows the user to visualize well contents and allows compatibility with Real-Time PCR applications as it allows detection of fluorophores.

- They effectively seal the wells with sample volumes as low as 5 L.

- These seals are available in -size format of the Piko range of PCR plates.

- These seals can endure temperatures of 80C and can hence be used during cryopreservation.
