Heat sealer has been designed to seal polypropylene deep well plates, PCR plates, microtitre plates and polystyrene tubes with a specially prepared pierceable film or foil
The Thermobond heat sealer from Porvair Sciences has been designed to seal polypropylene deep well plates, PCR plates, microtitre plates and polystyrene tubes with a specially prepared pierceable film or foil, which prevents sample evaporation and leakage during storage and transportation.
The Thermobond is very easy to use, requiring only one operation of the system to apply heat to the surface of the film, creating a fine melt with the coating of the plate/ tube being sealed.
High sample integrity is maintained as no heat is transferred to the sample during sealing.
Once sealed by the Thermobond, the sample microplate containers will not leak or allow evaporation even under the most arduous of storage or transport conditions.
To access liquid samples after storage, the film/foil may be pierced and the sample simply removed with a pipette, alternatively a removal key can be used to peel back the foil for complete sample removal. Other films allow direct reading of the well through the material.
Interchangale sample mounting blocks and spacer plates give the Thermobond the flexibility to seal sample plate holders ranging from 384-well plates up to 2.0ml microtubes and deepwell plates.
This also allows the product being sealed to remain perfectly flat during operation providing consistent sealing time after time.
