Product description

Battery-powered OpenArray Plate Press 2 ensures consistent sealing of QuantStudio OpenArray plates for qPCR workflows.

The Applied Biosystems OpenArray Plate Press 2 (Model A24945) is a precision instrument designed to align and seal QuantStudio OpenArray plate cases and lids following sample loading in Real-Time PCR (qPCR) assays. This device is essential for researchers performing molecular diagnostics, biotechnology applications, and gene expression analysis where consistent sealing of OpenArray and TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping Plates is critical.

Key technical features include:

  • Built-in timer ensuring uniform sealing duration for reproducible experimental results
  • Status indicator powered by 2 AA batteries providing easy operation without external software dependencies
  • Compact dimensions (5" W × 6" D × 5" H) and light weight (~5 lb/2.3 kg) supporting benchtop use in clinical and research laboratories
  • Compatibility with QuantStudio OpenArray Plates, used extensively in bioprocessing workflows and synthetic biology research

This device plays a vital role in preparing samples for high-throughput qPCR platforms, widely adopted in molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its reliable and consistent sealing capability helps maintain sample integrity and reduces contamination risk during subsequent PCR amplification steps.

The OpenArray Plate Press 2's compact, battery-operated design enables seamless integration in clinical diagnostics, cellular genomics, and biomanufacturing environments where precise sample handling is paramount. Overall, it is a robust accessory enhancing laboratory productivity in real-time PCR applications requiring stringent quality control.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
