Frequently Asked Questions About Sealing Machines

What is a sealing machine?

A sealing machine is a device used in laboratories to securely seal microplates, tube racks, and custom mouldings, preventing sample evaporation and cross-contamination. These machines can handle various microplate types, sealing materials and sealing films, including deep, shallow, skirted, semi-skirted, and non-skirted plates, with options for heat, pressure, or adhesive sealing. Available in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated heat sealer and microplate sealer models, sealing machines offer customisable settings. This includes custom settings for sealing time, temperature, and pressure, ensuring consistent, reliable seals tailored to specific research, application and storage requirements, thereby enhancing laboratory efficiency and sample integrity.

How do I choose a sealing machine?

Selecting the right sealing machine involves considering your laboratory’s specific needs, including the types of microplates used (deep, shallow, skirted, semi-skirted, non-skirted), the sealing film type (heat, pressure, adhesive), and the volume of samples processed. Evaluate whether manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated models best suit your throughput requirements. Also, consider the machine's compatibility with your microplates and whether customisable settings for time, temperature, and pressure are necessary for your applications. Ultimately, choose a machine that aligns with your research, application, and storage needs to enhance efficiency and ensure sample integrity.

How many types of sealing machines are there?

There are primarily three types of sealing machines used in laboratories: manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated. Manual sealers require direct user intervention for each seal or optimal robotic integration, ideal for low-throughput needs. Semi-automatic machines balance user involvement with some automated features, suitable for medium-volume applications. Fully automated sealers offer the highest efficiency and consistency, perfect for high-throughput environments. Additionally, these categories encompass heat sealers, adhesive film sealers, and pressure sealers, designed to meet various sealing requirements and microplate specifications.
