Protecting precious samples during storage and transportation is an essential final step for a wide range of laboratory and clinical applications. In addition, many high throughput labs routinely store or protect multiwell plates by applying a seal to prevent atmospheric contamination, moisture ingress or further drying of the sample, especially when storage is at low temperatures.

Of the various methods for sealing microplates, heat sealing has become the preferred option. It creates an air tight and chemically-resistant seal without the complications of adhesives being applied to a plate.

Porvair Sciences has developed a range of units to meet the needs of low, medium and high throughput laboratories for microplate sealing.

NEW ULTRASEAL™ PRO - AUTOMATED HEAT SEALER FOR PLATES AND TUBES

The Ultraseal™ Pro is the new fully automated heat-sealing instrument designed to consistently seal and protect a wide range of microplates and tubes. It is the latest heat sealing instrument designed to effortlessly seal microplates and tubes while ensuring maximum protection with a tighter seal. With its classic blue design, Ultraseal™ Pro is compact, versatile and fully automated for reliable and consistent sealing.

MINISEAL II SEMI-AUTOMATIC HEAT SEALER

The MiniSeal II semi-automatic plate sealer builds on the reputation of our earlier Minseal design for robustness and an ability to seal most types of plate. For users who need a tight seal on deep well plates, conventional sealers may not offer sufficient down force to guarantee a good seal. With a small footprint the MiniSeal II electrically-driven sealer is ideal for small bench spaces.
