It is a complementary instrument to the PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer and can be used either as a standalone unit, or integrated into a robotic system. A hardware interlock on the front door provides maximum safety to the operator.

Important: The Microplate Seal Piercer is not compatible with the BenchCel Microplate Workstation. Plate loading and unloading requires an articulated arm robot.

Features:

  • Simple User Interface – Push-button operation for standalone applications or automated operation via host PC, indicator lights to alert the operator of machine status, and a microplate alignment sensor
  • Interchangeable Piercing Head – Interchangeable 96- or 384-pin heads are available with a variety of pin-plate designs and guarantee a clean, controlled puncture every time with a penetration depth of 3 mm, even with deep-well microplates
  • Easy Plate Access – Hand loading via operator for manual operation or articulated arm robot able to fully access plate stage for higher throughput applications
