Agilent Velocity11 PlateLoc Automated Microplate Sealer Unit 7

The Agilent Velocity11 PlateLoc Microplate Sealer Unit 7 is a precision-engineered automated microplate sealing instrument designed for biotechnology and clinical diagnostics workflows, including PCR, sequencing, and compound screening. This compact unit supports microplates up to 51 mm in height and delivers fast sealing cycles (~8 seconds per plate) to facilitate high-throughput laboratory operations.

Key Technical Features:

• Sealing Temperature Range: 30 to 200°C, adjustable for diverse plate seal materials
• Cycle Time: Approximately 8 seconds per microplate, supporting rapid sample processing
• Plate Compatibility: Accommodates standard microplates up to 51 mm (2 inches) in height across multiple formats
• Warm-up Time: 2.5 minutes to reach 200°C, minimizing operational downtime
• Cool-down Time: Approximately 60 minutes from 160°C to safe handling temperature
• Weight & Dimensions: 20 kg (45 lb); footprint measures 21.6 x 58.4 x 39.9 cm (W x H x D) for efficient bench space usage

Operational Highlights:

• Automated sealing ensures consistent and reliable seal integrity across all wells, critical to prevent evaporation and cross-contamination in molecular biology experiments.
• Intuitive touchscreen control panel provides precise adjustment of temperature and sealing times, enabling customization for bioprocessing tasks and synthetic biology applications.
• Robust air system and cutter mechanism guarantee uniform heat sealing and precise seal trimming, supporting workflows in gene editing and molecular diagnostics.

Application Areas:

• Essential in biopharmaceutical production pipelines for compound storage and sample preservation
• Widely used in molecular cloning workflows involving PCR, qPCR, and sequencing
• Supports high-throughput screening laboratories engaged in drug discovery and biotechnology research
• Suitable for live-cell imaging sample preparation requiring sealed microplate environments

This unit has been fully serviced and tested for operational integrity, including control panel responsiveness, heating element performance, air system leak testing, and quality of seal uniformity across over 30 plates. It is supplied with a metal pad insert (0.90), seal roll holder, and standard power cord (115V, 4A). Consumable sealing rolls are required separately.

By integrating high-speed, reliable microplate sealing with a compact design, the Agilent Velocity11 PlateLoc Sealer is optimized for laboratories focused on molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing, delivering efficiency and reproducibility essential to advanced biotechnology research.
