Designed to be simple to operate, the new Ultraseal LITE semi-automatic microplate sealer from Porvair Sciences is the perfect device for labs with low to medium throughput (6 plates/minute) processing needs.

Compact in design, the Ultraseal LITE will fit just about anywhere you need to use it - be it on a lab bench or inside a fumehood.

Combining a powerful 400W heater with a strong sealing action, the Ultraseal LITE is able to ensure high integrity sealing of almost any type of microplate including deep well, shallow well, low profile deep well, filter, and assay plates that conform to the ANSI / SLAS standard format.

The Ultraseal LITE utilizes heat seal films and foils to give either permanent or peelable seals for all common microplate material types (polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene).

A typical sealing time for most polypropylene plates using Porvair seals is less than 3 seconds each. Seal times and seal temperatures are fully adjustable using the Ultraseal LITE control touch screen. Sealed plates are automatically ejected from the Ultraseal LITE.

The Ultraseal LITE has dual voltage capability, allowing it to operate on both 120 and 240-volt alternating current, 50/60 Hz mains supplies without the need for a power transformer.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
