XPeel - Automated Plate Seal Remover
The XPEEL Automated Plate Seal Remover provides a robust solution for the automated removal of seals from a wide variety of microplate types. By replacing manual de-sealing with a single-touch automated process, laboratories can eliminate a significant bottleneck, reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries, and transition to a "sealed plates, no lids" operating model for superior sample protection.

Efficiency and Reliability
Universal Compatibility
This system supports a diverse range of SBS microplates, including full-skirted PCR and deep-well formats up to 2ml. It effectively removes both heat-applied and pressure-sensitive seals using proprietary removal tape.
Sample Integrity Protection
Patented technology holds the plate securely while peeling to eliminate cross-contamination and minimize risk of sample damage. An integrated verification feature ensures precise seal removal, reducing common plate handling errors.
Streamlined Workflow Integration
Designed for high-throughput environments, the unit processes up to 200 plates per hour with simple one-touch operation. It functions as a standalone device or integrates into automated robotic workflows via a Serial RS232 interface.

Key Features & Capabilities
Discover how the XPeel optimizes laboratory workflows and protects samples.
The system is compatible with virtually all SBS microplates, including deep-well plates up to 2ml and full-skirted PCR plates. It effectively removes both heat-applied and pressure-applied seals.
By holding the plate down during the peeling process, the XPeel eliminates cross-contamination and splashing common with manual methods. Integrated seal removal verification further reduces handling errors.
Yes. While it features one-touch operation for standalone use, it includes a Serial RS232 interface for seamless integration into automated robotic lines.
Removed seals are automatically collected in a dedicated waste internal compartment for easy disposal after processing.
No. The patented removal technique lifts the seal away from the plate surface without physical contact with the samples, maintaining integrity.
The unit completes a full removal cycle in approximately 10 seconds, supporting high-throughput processing requirements.
