Product description

Precision plate press for aligning and sealing OpenArray plates in Real-Time PCR workflows, battery-powered, timer controlled.

The Applied Biosystems OpenArray Plate Press 2 (Model A24945) is a precision instrument designed to align and seal QuantStudio OpenArray plates and lids following sample loading. Essential for Real-Time PCR (qPCR) workflows, this battery-operated plate sealer features a built-in timer and status indicator to ensure consistent sealing critical for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications.

Key technical characteristics include:

  • Compatibility with OpenArray Plates and TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping Plates, widely adopted in genotyping and synthetic biology research.
  • Battery powered by 2 AA batteries for flexible laboratory integration without the need for software or external power.
  • Compact dimensions (5" W × 6" D × 5" H) and lightweight design (5 lb / 2.3 kg) facilitate easy handling and storage.
  • Provides reproducible sealing performance, reducing sample contamination risk and enhancing qPCR assay reliability.

This device is critical in biotechnology and molecular biology laboratories where precise sealing of high-throughput qPCR plates impacts data quality in workflows such as gene expression analysis, molecular cloning, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The OpenArray Plate Press 2 supports standardization in plate preparation, proving valuable in clinical diagnostics and research-intensive environments focused on synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
