1.0 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Labnet AccuSeal™ semi-automated plate sealer is used for heat sealing of a wide variety of microplates to store samples, prevent

evaporation, and minimize contamination.

It thermally bond seals and foils to a wide variety of microtiter, cell culture, PCR, and deep well plates. The digital temperature and

timer control allows user selection of parameters for combinations of plates and seals.

A plate sensing system allows the plate sealer to provide uniform force, transferring heat evenly to the sealing surface whether using

shallow PCR plates or deep well plates.

3.0 Operation

After installing the unit, you will need to power it up using the power switch in the back, then choose your sealing settings.

NOTE: The Labnet AccuSeal™ plate sealer should be used only with microplates and seals that are designed for heat sealing. It is the

user’s responsibility to confirm that the consumables being used are appropriate for the application.

Proper heat sealing of microplates requires the proper temperature and time settings. Contact your consumable manufacturer for

recommended time and temperature parameters.

It is commonly required to try different temperature and sealing time settings to optimize the sealing of different types of plates.

Many polypropylene plates and sealing films seal well using a sealing temperature of 165°C and sealing time of 4.5 seconds.

3.1 Set the Temperature

Press the Mode button until the Seal Temp text is flashing. Use the control knob to adjust the display to the desired temperature.

Press the control knob or wait 10 seconds to set the selected temperature.

When a temperature is set above the current temperature of the heating platen, the display will show Heating and the Status

indicator LED above the door will flash red.

When the temperature of the heating platen reaches the set temperature, the display will show Ready, and the indicator LED will be a

steady green.

NOTE: It is recommended to leave the drawer closed, and without a sample plate on the drawer while the platen is heating up. This

will allow the unit to heat to the set temperature more quickly.

3.2 Set the Time

Pressing the Mode button until the Seal Time text is flashing. Use the control knob to adjust the display to the desired sealing time.

Press the control knob or wait 10 seconds to set the selected time.

3.3 Using Plate Adapters

Labnet ships adapters for optimal sealing of certain multiwell plate configurations.

3.4 Using the Seal Frame

A sealing frame is provided with the unit to assist in securing the thermal seal in proper position prior to sealing the plate. This

ensures proper positioning of the seal and prevents any curling or undesired movement of the thermal seal prior to the sealing

process.

After loading the plate and placing the seal on top of the plate, the frame is then lowered over the thermal seal and onto the plate.

Tabs at either end of the frame secure the thermal seal in place. There are 4 metal posts around the plate which serve as indexing

points for the frame.

1. Rubber handles: Provides insulated handling points for the frame.

2. Tabs: Secures the thermal seal in place.

3. Indexing points: Fits around metal posts on the plate drawer.

Instruction Manual | 5

3.5 Sealing a Plate

Based on the type of seal and plate being used, select the time and temperature using the Mode button and control knob. Consult the

seal manufacturer for recommended settings. If the plate you are using will require an adapter, place it into the recessed area in the

middle of the drawer. This will prevent the adapter from shifting position during sealing.

Next, position your plate on top of the adapter or directly in the drawer. Confirm that the plate is centered and flat. Then, lay the

thermal seal on top of the plate, being sure that it is centered.

NOTE: Make sure the seal is placed with the sealing side down on the plate. If the seal is placed upside down, it will stick to the hot

platen, and this will require cleaning of the platen (see Accessing and Cleaning the Heating Platen).

Once the thermal seal is placed, place the seal frame on top to prevent the seal

from shifting position. Depending on the settings chosen, the unit may require

some time before the heating platen has reached the desired temperature. After

the settings are entered and the status light is green, the unit is ready for sealing.

Keep hands and fingers clear of the drawer, and press the Seal button. The drawer

will close automatically, the plate will be sealed, and the drawer will open for

removal of the seal frame and plate.

Sealing a Plate

1. Set the Sealing temperature and time.

2. Insert the Adapter (if required).

3. Place the plate in the drawer.

4. Place the seal on top of the plate.

5. Place the sealing frame on top of the seal.

6. Press Seal when the light is green – drawer will close, seal the plate, and

drawer will open automatically.

7. Remove the sealing frame.

8. Remove the sealed plate.

3.6 Accessing and Cleaning the Heating Platen

In the event that a seal becomes stuck to the heating platen, the following steps will allow you to clean the platen.

CAUTION: Be sure to turn the unit Off, and unplug it from the power source before attempting to clean the

platen.

CAUTION: The heating platen can reach temperatures in excess of 190°C. Allow the unit to cool for at least

1 hour before attempting to clean the platen.

Cleaning the Heating Platen

1. Open the drawer of the unit.

2. Power the unit down and unplug it.

3. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour.

4. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the retaining screw

for the access door.

5. Remove the access door.

6. Clean the platen by hand using a plastic putty knife. Alcohol

may be used to remove any residue. NOTE: Do not use a metal

tool (i.e., screwdriver) to scrape the platen as this could gouge

the surface.

7. Replace the access door and screw.

3.7 Power Save Mode

If the unit is left On but inactive for long periods, it will enter a power saving mode. These modes are described below.

Display Time Frame Temperature

STND_BY 1 hour of inactivity 60°C

PWRSAVE 3 hours of inactivity after entering STND_BY mode Ambient (heater Off)

4.0 Troubleshooting

Error Possible Cause Solution

Plates not sealing correctly. Insufficient sealing time. Check with the sealing film manufacturer for

recommended sealing time and temperature.

Sealing temperature is too low.

Top of the plate is not flat. Turn the plate 180°, and reseal.

Sealing film is curling and

moving out of position.

Temperature difference and electrostatic

charge affecting the seal.

Use the sealing frame to secure the seal in

place.

Sealing film is sticking to

platen.

Foreign material stuck to the platen. Follow the procedure for cleaning the heating

platen.
