Abstract

A sealing device for a well plate and process for fabrication of the device. The device includes a first layer and two adhesive layers. A bore is formed through the first layer and the two adhesive layers. A translucent second layer adheres to the first adhesive layer of the first layer to seal the well plate. The process for fabricating a sealing device provides a first layer with a first side having a first adhesive layer and a second side having a second adhesive layer. A second layer adheres to the first adhesive layer. A bore is formed through the first layer, first adhesive layer, second adhesive layer, and second layer, after removal of the second layer from the first adhesive layer. Yet another layer adheres to the first adhesive layer over the bore. A coloration element may be added to the device.
