Product Details

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.
