Description
The Axygen PlateMax semi-automatic plate sealer is ideal for the low to medium throughput laboratory that requires uniform and consistent sealing of microplates. Sealing parameters are set and displayed via the user-friendly control panel and the sealing operation is automated to ensure consistent results.
The PlateMax sealer control system features an intuitive layout with settings for all types of plates and sealing materials. The Mode button selects sealing time or temperature, and the control knob adjusts the setting.
Temperature can be precisely set in increments of 1°C and time in increments of 0.1 seconds. The PlateMax has a power saving option that turns the heater off if not in use. For those labs that choose to turn this function off, you can have the PlateMax ready to run all day.
The PlateMax sealer accepts a wide variety of plate types and heights. An aluminum adapter is used for PCR and standard assay plates. The motorized heated platen automatically adjusts for different plate heights and provides uniform pressure to ensure a quality seal. The platen incorporates a special non-stick coating. The side access door allows for easy cleaning.
The internal heating elements are situated inside the instrument casing and an internal safety door prevents access to the heated area. In addition, the motorized drawer features safety switches. If a hand or object obstructs the closing drawer, the drawer motor will reverse. This feature protects both the user and the instrument.
