To obtain reliable assay results, PCR plates need to be sealed tightly in a reproducible manner a and the same is true for maintaining sample integrity during storage. The HeatSealers S100 and S200 are user friendly instruments for reliable plate sealing of different plate formats. In combination with our range of adapters, Eppendorf HeatSealers enable you to seal almost any plate.
Rapid and Reliable Plate SealingWith its adjustable heat and timing controls, the Eppendorf HeatSealer S200 ensures uniform and secure sealing for a range of plate formats. Its wide compatibility with film and foil materials increases laboratory versatility, making it a go-to solution for critical sample management and protection against contamination or evaporation.
Optimized for Laboratory WorkflowsDesigned for busy life science and pharmaceutical environments, the S200 delivers fast operation-sealing each plate in as little as one second and supporting a quick start-up. Its lightweight build and compact footprint make it easy to integrate into any lab setup, minimizing downtime and improving throughput.
Safe and User-Friendly OperationEquipped with a secure lid lock and automatic switch-off, the HeatSealer S200 prioritizes user safety. The digital LCD display offers intuitive control over temperature and sealing time, ensuring precision and reproducibility for sensitive experiments.
FAQ's of Eppendorf HeatSealer S200 - Plate Sealing:
Q: How do I operate the Eppendorf HeatSealer S200 for sealing microplates?
A: To operate the HeatSealer S200, place your compatible plate and sealing film or foil onto the sealing platform, manually close the lid, and the device will automatically carry out the sealing process according to your selected temperature and time settings. The sealed plate can then be easily removed once the process is complete.
Q: What plates and sealing materials can be used with the S200?
A: This device is compatible with 96-well, 384-well, and deepwell microplates that conform to SBS standards. It supports sealing with most standard films and foils, making it suitable for diverse laboratory applications including storage, PCR, and assays.
Q: When should I adjust the sealing temperature and time settings?
A: Adjust the temperature (125C - 200C) and sealing time (1-5 seconds) based on your plate type and sealing material requirements. Using the recommended parameters for each application helps ensure optimal sealing integrity without damaging plates or seals.
Q: Where can the HeatSealer S200 be used effectively?
A: The S200 is well-suited for use in life sciences, pharmaceutical research, and molecular biology laboratories, particularly where plate-based sample management or high-throughput screening is performed. Its compact design allows placement on most laboratory benches.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the device?
A: For protection, the HeatSealer S200 includes an automatic switch-off function and a lid lock mechanism during sealing. This prevents accidental contact with the heated plate and enhances user safety throughout operation.
Q: How does using the S200 benefit my laboratory workflow?
A: With rapid heating, short sealing cycles, and broad plate compatibility, the S200 improves workflow efficiency, minimizes sample evaporation or contamination, and ensures reproducible results. Its user-friendly operation also reduces training time and error rates.
Q: What is the process for setting up and starting the device?
A: Simply connect the HeatSealer S200 to a suitable power supply (100-240 V AC), power it on, and set the desired temperature and sealing time using the digital LCD. The device reaches set temperature in under 10 minutes, after which you can start sealing plates.
