Available from Agilent Automation Solutions - the 'Reference guide to optimal microplate sealing' was written for laboratories looking to optimise microplate sealing processes to safeguard the integrity of their samples. Achieving an optimal microplate seal depends on many factors including microplate design, construction material, batch-to-batch plate production consistency, microplate features, sealing parameters and the type of seal used.

The informative 16-page guide includes a microplate sealing tips section, information on how to optimise sealing parameters when thermal sealing, a comprehensive FAQ section and an electronic PDF form designed to facilitate the capture of key information helpful when requesting technical/applications support.

The free-of-charge reference guide will be of interest to both those currently sealing microplates or those thinking about investing in a microplate sealing instrument.

A copy of `Reference guide for optimal thermal microplate sealing' is available by contacting your local Agilent sales office or downloading the document from http://www.chem.agilent.com/Library/datasheets/Public/5990-3483EN_LO.pdf.
