[ccp4bb] CrystalClear tape rolls
Dear All, Just wondering what the current situation on CrystalClear tray sealing tape is. Molecular Dimensions, Hampton, Jena seem to be selling mainly sheets or strips precut for plates - I guess related with the fact that the consumer box sealing tape changed specifications and now clouds over with certain reservoir solutions. See: https://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@dl.ac.uk/msg00622.html We are stilll using rolls which came with plates we bought years back, but now only have two rolls left - so I am wondering if there is a more economic solution than buying sheets or strips.

Hi Mark, last time I checked (few months back), Hampton still sold tape. Shipping to Europe is extortionate but if you combine with screens and other goodies, it's just about bearable.

Re: [ccp4bb] CrystalClear tape rolls
I use 3 clear duck tape. Amazon has it in packages of 6 rolls. Seems to work OK, with maybe one well in a 2x96 well screen interacting with the adhesive. I think it's an isopropanol or dioxane condition.
