Semi-automatic Thermal Sealer
Manufacturer: BT Lab Systems
Description
This semi-automatic thermal sealer is a laboratory instrument used to apply adhesive sealing films to microplates, primarily in applications such as PCR. By creating a secure, heat-activated seal over the wells of a plate, the device serves to prevent the loss of sample volume through evaporation and to minimize the risk of cross-contamination between adjacent wells during testing procedures. The semi-automatic operation typically involves manual loading of the plate and seal, followed by an automated sealing cycle initiated by the user. This process standardizes the sealing pressure and heat application, contributing to consistent results across multiple plates. The unit is designed for compatibility with standard microplate formats used in molecular biology workflows.
