The Agilent Microplate Seal Piercer is a low cost automated microplate piercing station ideal for screening and compatible with a variety of seals and pin plates. As a complementary instrument to the Agilent PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer, the Microplate Seal Piercer pierces a wide variety of seals on 96- or 384-well microplates in only four seconds of cycle time. Specially designed piercing pins guarantee a clean, controlled puncture on every microplate with a penetration depth of ≤ 4.5 mm, even with deep well microplates. Use station either as a stand-alone unit, or integrate into a robotic system through the ActiveX control and RS-232 serial port connection. Indicator lights on the machine alert the operator of the machine status (ready, busy, stop, low air pressure), and a microplate alignment sensor ensures that the microplate is correctly positioned in the microplate locator before actuation. A hardware interlock on the front door provides maximum safety to the operator. The pierc- ing head is easily removed for cleaning. Reconfiguration between formats is accomplished in seconds by changing the pierce head.
