Azenta Life Sciences Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer Adapter, For Skirted 96 And 384 Well Plates, 1 Adapter Per Case

Semi-automated sheet heat sealer compatible with a wide range of seals and microplates, PCR and assay plates, as well as storage plates of differing designs and heights

With variable temperature and time settings, sealing conditions are easily optimized to produce a 100% seal, eliminating sample loss. Plate and seal are placed on the holder, the "Operate" button pressed and the drawer automatically closes. The sealing process is controlled by an electric mechanism; this unique feature eliminates operator variation, giving a consistent seal every time and reducing the damage caused to microplates by over-sealing.
