Carrier for reversibly immobilizing one or more objects

A carrier for reversibly immobilizing one or more objects comprising:

• (a) a frame having a major axis, a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or more openings through the frame along the major axis;
• and
• (b) a film comprising a thermoplastic elastomer material and having a top surface and a bottom surface, the thermoplastic elastomer material being present at the top surface and the bottom surface;
• wherein:
• (i) the film is attached to the frame based on thermal bonding of the top surface of the film to the bottom surface of the frame, is under tension along the major axis of the frame, and is free to flex at the one or more openings through the frame;
• (ii) the top surface of the film comprises one or more exposed top surface portions that comprise the thermoplastic elastomer material and are accessible through the one or more openings through the frame;
• and
• (iii) the one or more exposed top surface portions exhibit a holding force on stainless steel as per ASTM D1000 due to the thermoplastic elastomer material at the top surface that is greater than that of the bottom surface of the film.
