Plate Sealers & Cappers

Microplate sealers and cappers are vital laboratory instruments used to protect valuable samples during storage, handling, and transportation. By providing a secure and reproducible seal for microplates, tubes, and vials, these systems minimise evaporation, prevent cross-contamination between wells, and maintain sample integrity across diverse laboratory and clinical applications. Reliable sealing is a critical final step in many workflows, ensuring that samples remain stable and protected for downstream analysis.

HEAT AND ADHESIVE PLATE SEALERS

Heat plate sealers are considered the gold standard for laboratory sample sealing, providing airtight and chemically resistant seals that are ideally suited for long-term storage and assays requiring maximum integrity. By applying controlled heat and pressure, these instruments bond specialist foils or films directly to the plate surface, producing consistent hermetic seals without the challenges associated with adhesives. For heat-sensitive applications, adhesive plate sealers offer a reliable alternative, delivering secure seals while maintaining flexibility. Both heat and adhesive sealing systems give laboratories precise control over parameters such as time, temperature, pressure, and film type, with models designed to meet the demands of low, medium, and high throughput workflows.


CAP MAT APPLICATORS

Cap mat applicators are specifically designed for sealing microplates and tubes with friction or septum sealing mats. These systems apply consistent and even pressure across all wells, producing uniform results while reducing the risk of operator strain associated with manual sealing. Compatible with a wide range of plate formats and sealing mats, cap mat applicators offer laboratories an economical and practical sealing solution.
