Hybri-Bag Hard

Hard-type, heat-sealable, clear composite film-construction bags are designed for durable, reliable incubation of precious experimental membranes with limiting amounts of valuable liquid reagents, over many hours, withstanding temperature extremes from boiling to freezing, conditions required in widely utilized blotting (southern, northern and western) and other experimental techniques.

Conveniently sized (200 x 300 mm) Hybri-bags constructed from clear composite plastic film are available in 2 stiffness levels (soft and hard). All hybrid-bags are coated with Nylon outside and polyethylene and polypropylene on the inside, respectively, for soft- and hard-type Hybri-bags. A gridded version of the hard-type Hybri-bag is available for custom-sizing bags without the need for rulers to make straight cuts. Hybri-bags are heat-sealable, resistant to temperatures (80°C, soft and 120°C, hard) and do not curl when cut.

Features

• Tough, high strength, durable composite film
• Temperature resistant - boilable and freezable (0°C to 120°C)
• Designed for easy, reliable, durable and complete seals using a common heat sealer
• Clarity and smoothness of composite film construction can be useful for successful experimental outcomes
• No curling when cut
• Reasonable price

Storage

• Recommend storage at room temperature in a dry environment to avoid a curling effect of humidity

Hybridization Bags Hybri-Bag Hard FAQs

What is the thickness of the constituent films used in Hybri-Bag (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021)?
The combined thickness of the nylon and polyethylene layers in Hybri-Bag is 65 μm ±10%.

What types of polymers are used in Hybri-Bag(Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021)? Nylon 6, Nylon 66, or another type? PEHD, PELD, or another type?
Hybri-Bag is made from Nylon 6 and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (a type of PELD).

Are there any additives such as antioxidants, catalysts, or silicones in the polymers used in Hybri-Bag (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021)?
Yes. Both nylon and polyethylene contain additives such as antioxidants and slip agents. When using Hybri-Bag for experiments, you can autoclave the bags or use RNase and DNA elimination reagents (or sheets).
Currently, we have not received any reports that these additives interfere with experimental results.

Is there a shelf life for Hybri-Bag(Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021)?
There is no shelf life for Hybri-Bag. This product has hygroscopic properties; therefore, storage in a dry place is recommended.

What is the thickness of each Hybri-Bag type (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021)?
Hybri-Bag Hard and Hybri-Bag Hard with Grid: 97 μm ±10%
Hybri-Bag Soft: 65 μm ±10%

I would like to use Hybri-Bag (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021) with a low oxygen concentration inside the bag. Do you have any information on the air permeability of Hybri-Bag?
Unfortunately, we do not have any information available regarding air permeability. However, we do offer Oxygen Absorber System (Cat. No. ISO-A-25AZS):
Absorber System (Cat. No. ISO-A-25AZS)

Can I immerse Hybri-Bag (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021) in an 80°C water bath for 16 hours?
Hybri-Bag Soft: No issues are expected under these conditions.
Hybri-Bag Hard and Hybri-Bag Hard with Grid: The Hybri-Bag Hard type can tolerate temperatures up to 120°C.

Can I use Hybri-Bag (Hard: Cat. No. SE-S-1001 /Hard with Grid: Cat. No. SE-S-1002 /Soft: Cat. No. SE-S-1021) with liquid nitrogen?
Based on the temperature specifications of the following component materials, we assume that Hybri-Bag may not be able to tolerate liquid nitrogen (approximately -196°C).
