1. What are Plate Sealers?
Plate Sealers are laboratory systems used to securely seal microplates, such as PCR, ELISA, or deep-well plates. They apply heat, pressure, or adhesive films to create tight seals over the wells, preventing contamination, evaporation, and spillage of samples during storage, incubation, or transport. Plate sealers help maintain sample integrity and are essential tools in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical research.
2. How does Plate Sealer work?
Plate Sealer works by applying controlled heat and pressure to securely seal the wells of microplates. These systems heat the sealing surface to a set temperature, which melts or activates the sealing film, creating a tight bond over each well. At the same time, uniform pressure ensure consistent contact across the entire plate, preventing leaks and sample evaporation. Some units use plate sensing technology to optimize force and heat distribution for reliable, repeatable sealing.
3. What kind of maintenance do the Plate Sealers require?
Plate Sealers require regular maintenance to maintain performance and reliability. This includes cleaning sealing surfaces to remove residue and debris. Temperature calibration and functionality of moving parts should be routinely checked. Proper upkeep ensures consistent sealing quality and extends the system’s lifespan.
