Product description

Precise plate alignment and sealing device for OpenArray Real-Time PCR plates, enabling consistent qPCR workflows.

The Applied Biosystems OpenArray Plate Press 2 (Model A24945) is a specialized Real-Time PCR sealer engineered for precise alignment and sealing of QuantStudio OpenArray plate cases and lids following sample loading. Designed to support qPCR applications and molecular diagnostics workflows, it is fully compatible with both OpenArray Plates and TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping Plates, widely adopted in molecular biology and genotyping studies.

Key technical features include:

  • Built-in timer to ensure consistent and reproducible sealing times for high-throughput qPCR assays
  • Status indicator for operational feedback without requiring additional software or digital interface
  • Portable design powered by 2 AA batteries, eliminating dependency on external power sources, making it convenient for varied lab environments
  • Compact dimensions (5" W × 6" D × 5" H) and lightweight construction (~5 pounds) facilitate ergonomic bench positioning and ease of use

This plate press is essential for maintaining sample integrity during Real-Time PCR (qPCR) and genotyping applications, ensuring airtight sealing critical in biotechnology workflows, including gene expression analysis, high-throughput screening, and bioprocessing sample prep. Its compatibility with industry-standard OpenArray technology makes it a valuable tool in synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics pipelines, where precise sample handling and contamination prevention are paramount.

Optimized for researchers and laboratory professionals engaged in biomedical engineering, molecular cloning workflows, and advanced biopharmaceutical production pipelines, this device supports reliable amplification results by mitigating sample evaporation and cross-contamination during thermal cycling.

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.
