Sealing Parameters

Technical data and parameters for heat sealing laboratory plates:

Product Code Product Name Dwell time and temperature for a 96 well plate Dwell time and temperature for a 348 Well Plate
 4ti-0541  Clear Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0575  Clear Weld Seal Mark II  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0581  Clear Seal 3730  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0521  Peel Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0587  DMSO Resistant Peel Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0531  Pierce Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0536  Foil Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0591  Thermal Bond  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0527  Black Seal  TBC  TBC
 4ti-0595  Gas Permeable Heat Seal  TBC  TBC

These values are for guidance only. It is advisable to conduct individual trials depending on the plate type being sealed.

These values are for sealing with the semi automatic 4titude® 4s2™ Thermal Sealer (4ti-0650). If using an automated sealer, reduce the dwell time by 0.5 - 1.0 second.

Certain seals such as the Peel Seal are prone to curling prior to sealing. To overcome this issue, place a weighted metal sheet (4ti-0602) over the seal prior to sealing to keep the seal flat. If this item is being used, increase the dwell time by 1 second.
