Agilent Automation Solutions has launched the Plateloc thermal microplate sealer that automatically accommodates deep-well, assay, PCR and compound storage microplates.
The Plateloc sealer is ideal for robotic integration, featuring and extended-travel plate stage, RS232 serial port and ActiveX control.
In order to minimise system downtime when replenishing consumables, the instrument features an easy-to-access, top-loading seal roll support.
Three different types of interchangeable sealing material are available from Agilent Automation - peelable, pierceable, or clear - enabling an optimised solution to be provided for a variety of applications.
The Plateloc forms a consistent seal around each individual plate well.
The thermal sealing mechanism leaves no waste seal material, saving money and time spent cleaning-up.
Standalone operators have full control of sealing time and temperature through the Plateloc's touch-screen, and a choice of plate stage inserts ensures the best possible seal for any microplate.
