Porvair Sciences has announced the MicroSeal - a new budget priced manual microplate heat sealer that offers great performance.

Designed to meet the needs of low to medium throughput laboratories for microplate sealing the MicroSeal is compact and easy-to-use. An ergonomic pull down mechanism makes single action heat sealing of a wide range of plates quick and simple.

Using a pre-set temperature of 170C, ideal for most common sealing applications, and dual LED status display of power and heating, the MicroSeal is very safe and easy to use. A built-in thermostat prevents overheating of plates.

Of the various methods for sealing microplates, heat sealing has become the preferred option as it creates an air tight and chemically-resistant seal without the complication of adhesives being applied to a plate.  With its small footprint, ease of use and ability to handle a wide range of plates the MicroSeal is the obvious choice for laboratories looking for an affordable manual thermal plate sealer.

Porvair Sciences Ltd has specialised in the manufacture of microplates and microplate equipment since its formation in 1992. Via its global distributor network, Porvair Sciences serves Life Sciences, Biotechnology, R&D and Molecular Biology with microplate solutions for all applications, from sample preparation to high throughput screening.  Porvair Sciences is a subsidiary of Porvair plc, a world leader in microporous materials.
