Product description

Precise plate press for aligning and sealing OpenArray plates in Real-Time PCR workflows without software.

The Applied Biosystems OpenArray Plate Press 2 (model A24945) is a specialized laboratory device designed for accurate alignment and sealing of OpenArray and TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping Plates following sample loading. This equipment is critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows, particularly for Real-Time PCR (qPCR) applications in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.

  • Key technical features:
  • Built-in timer ensures consistent seal duration for reliable PCR results.
  • Status indicator provides clear operational feedback during use.
  • Powered by 2 AA batteries, enabling portable and software-free operation.
  • Compact footprint: 5" W × 6" D × 5" H, weighing approximately 3.27 kg (7.2 lb).

This plate press supports high-throughput gene expression analysis, genotyping, and synthetic biology research workflows by facilitating crucial sample preparation steps. It is widely adopted in biotechnology labs focusing on biomanufacturing and molecular cloning, where precise seal integrity is essential for preventing contamination and sample evaporation.

The unit arrives in pristine, unused condition and is packaged within a durable case, ensuring longevity in demanding laboratory environments. Its compatibility with QuantStudio OpenArray systems makes it a valuable accessory for advanced fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging studies reliant on qPCR data.

Overall, the OpenArray Plate Press 2 improves sample handling efficiency in biomedical engineering and genetic research, supporting reproducible results in biotechnological research and clinical applications.

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.
