Microplate Sealer:Heat

The Wasp unit is an automated heat applied micro plate and tube rack sealer. The unit uses a roll of surface modified aluminum or plastic film approx. 78mm wide and up to 610m long, the roll is positioned to the rear of the sealing section via a removable stand, using a total inline method the film is pulled through the main unit, cut to between 125mm and 130mm in length and then applied to the plate top surface to create the seal between plate and film. Constant time and pressure lead the way in sealing techniques. KBiosystems developed the first fully automated production sealers in 1994 and still are considered the premier application specialist amongst users and integrators alike.

System operation is designed to efficiently apply a heat activated sealing film to a micro well plate or tube rack top surface. By pulling and maintaining control of a reel of film cutting to the desired length and by means of heat and time based variables apply the film to achieve the seal. The unit is both pneumatically and electrically operated and hence will require both supplies to be readily available.
