A closure means for containment devices such as reagent containment devices (RCDs) comprising a multilayer film (10) having at least two layers, an uppermost first layer (11) and adjacent to the first layer a second sealing layer (12), said first layer comprising a heat resistant barrier being substantially impermeable to gas and moisture. The film can be in the form of a strip or sheet and can be applied to for example microtubes, and multiwell plates or strips in order to hermetically seal them and prevent reagent loss through evaporation during treatment or spillage during handling or storage. There is further provided a method for sealing RCDs comprising applying a film as described using heat and/or pressure, forms of RCDs useful for said method, and kits comprising closure means and RCDs. |
