A new thermal, easy-to-use semiautomatic microplate sealer is cost-effective and uniquely combines enhanced comfort and safety in use, with excellent repeatability in sealing any ANSI/SBS (American Nation Standards Institute/Society for Biomedical Screening) standard footprint plates up to 48-mm (high), and most currently available polymerase chain reaction (PCR) plates.Posted on 29 Mar 2010
Porvair Sciences, Ltd. (Leatherhead, Surrey, UK) has announced the availability of a new, downloadable pdf brochure for its MiniSeal Plus thermal microplate sealer. Designed for laboratories needing to seal small to medium numbers (10-50) of plates each day, the MiniSeal Plus is compact, easy to use, and simple to install. Unlike bigger automated sealers, MiniSeal Plus does not require a compressed air supply to operate. Instead, all operations are electronically controlled through the splash-proof keypad, so that the MiniSeal Plus can be installed up to temperature and sealing plates within minutes of unpacking. The compact footprint (H 310 x D 275 x W 181 mm) means the sealer will fit just about anywhere on the lab bench, or inside a fume hood if required.
