Overview

The Automated Plate Seal Remover automatically removes seals from a wide range of microplate types with the single touch of a button. A robust and elegantly-simple automated system, it eliminates the need for repetitive, manual removal of plate seals and enables the adoption of the gold-standard operating model (sealed plates, no lids).

The patented Tape removal medium eliminates the need for mechanical removal mechanisms which are often prone to failure. The Automated Plate Seal Remover is highly reliable and can be used manually or integrated into automated systems with external robotics.

Key Features

  • Compatible with Virtually all Microplate & Seal Types
    • Can be used with a wide variety of microplates, including full-skirted PCR plates, low-base microplates and deep-well (up to 2ml) plates
    • Compatible with a variety of full-plate seals, including heat and pressure applied seals
    • Uses proprietary Removal Tape to de-seal microplates, up to 400 seal removals per tape roll
  • Preserves Sample Integrity
    • Eliminates cross contamination common with manual seal removal techniques
    • Supports quality control measures requiring samples to be sealed until their moment of use
    • Holds the plate down whilst the seal is peeled away from the plate, eliminating another contamination issue
    • Operating mode minimizes plate or seal damage
    • Integrated seal removal verification feature reduces plate handling errors
  • Easy to Use, Easy to Integrate
    • Can be used as a standalone system, or integrated into automated and robotic workflows via Serial RS232 remote interface
    • One-touch, push-button operation to de-seal plates makes the Automated Plate Seal Remover an ideal standalone device for busy laboratories
