Brooks / Nexus Biosystems: XPeel
The repetitive task of manually removing plate seals can be challenging to say the least, leading to potential issues such as cross contamination, repetitive motion injuries, and plate/seal damage. The XPeel addresses these issues by being able to automatically remove seals from a broad range of plate types, all at a single touch of a button. At the core of this patented process is the seal removal mechanism, or more accurately, a lack thereof. Instead of utilizing a mechanical approach which is prone to malfunction leading to unreliable results, the seals are removed by XTape, a proprietary adhesive medium which results in a more consistent peel. The XPeel was designed with only one goal in mind: fast and reliable removal of a wide variety of seals. This goal has been successfully attained with the XPeel. The end result is a robust and elegantly simple automated system that can be counted on to perform flawlessly time after time.
