X-Seal automated adhesive sealer



The benchtop X-Seal Automated Adhesive Sealer offers reliable and robust heat-free sealing of SBS format microplates.
This automated sealer can be used with plates of differing heights, from 9 to 48mm, including PCR plates.
Ideal for many applications requiring plate resealing or when plate damage is to be avoided, including PCR, QPCR and crystallography.
User-selectable sealing pressure for optimal seal integrity.
The Automated Adhesive Sealer can be operated using the touch screen for bench-top use or fully integrated into an automated work-cell.
Obtain reliable seal quality with a variable sealing pressure and accuracy of +/- 0.25mm.
User is able to select sealing speed (from 3 plates/min).
For increased throughput link the Automated Adhesive Sealer with the X-Seal Stacker System which is capable of holding 70 plates (lidded or non-lidded). Simply “plug and play”.
RS232 port and ASCII programming parameters allow the X-seal Automated
Adhesive Sealer to be easily integrated into automated systems.

X-Seal manual thermal sealer



The selectable temperature and time settings allow the user to specify optimal sealing conditions.
Constant temperature is maintained throughout the heating block for added reliability.
Compatible with a wide range of thermal seals and plate types.
The X-Seal Manual Thermal Sealer is able to accommodate standard plates, deep-well blocks and differing PCR plate designs.
Simply place the seal and plate on the holder, closing the drawer will start the automated sealing process. When completed the drawer re-opens and the sealed plate can be removed from the holder.

X-Seal automated thermal sealer



The X-seal Automated Thermal Sealer is a fast and compact thermal sealer for reliable sealing of 96 and 384-well plates and blocks suitable for use as a stand-alone benchtop unit or integrated into larger robotic systems.
Small footprint and compact design saves precious laboratory space.Plates of differing heights can be sealed without the need for adaptors. The X-seal Automated Thermal Sealer will seal up to 10 plates per minute.Seal time and temperature are specified using the control box included so that an even seal is achieved with differing seal and plate types. A footswitch enables hands-free operation.The RS232 port and ASCII programming parameters allow the X-seal Automated Thermal Sealer to be easily integrated into automated systems.Sealing and cutting is only performed once the external door is securely closed. Sensors detect the seal presence and check that the heat and pressure levels are sufficient for faultless sealing.The seal rolls are top-loaded with easy access for changeover. No waste produced. To use simply place the plate on the holder at the front of the unit. The plate is automatically pulled inside the sealer, sealed, and then returned on the holder to the original position.

X-Seal Plate Piercing System



The X-Seal semi automated Plate Piercing System is ideal for medium throughput applications.
With easily interchangeable piercing heads and plate adapter, this system is compatible with all commonly used plates including standard 96 and 384-well plates (square or round well), PCR and deepwell plates.Disposable piercing heads eliminate the need for washing and prevents contamination.Cycle time is less than 10 seconds.Easy to control using the push buttons on the front of the unit or optional foot pedal.

Adhesive and heat seals



FluidX offer a wide selection of adhesive seals suitable for use on most manual, automated or semi-automated adhesive sealing systems.
Standard foil seals, which can be either peeled or pierced, ideal for low temperature storage. Transparent and foil seals for PCR. Economical transparent seal for temporary storage of aqueous samples. Optically clear seals that are perfect for QPCR and fluorescence, available with a non-sticky pressure-sensitive adhesive for ease of use. Gas permeable seals, impervious to fluids, which enhance cell growth. Silicone foil, available in peelable or piercable versions, that demonstrates excellent solvent resistance and is ideal for use with plates containing DMSO. Black PE foil for light sensitive applications.DMSO-resistant gold foil seal.

All seals are available in a choice of sizes, pre-cut sheets or roll format.
