Decent instrument for automation when it works.
Sealing PCR Plates
The Agilent Plateloc is easy to use when it works. Due to the nature of the technology, there are components that caused issues after a few years of use. We were under service contract so it was not an issue to have parts replaced but after a few years air leaks within the system seemed to occur.

One of the most-used instruments in our lab.
Sealing plates after sample prep for immediate injection on LC/MS
Generally very dependable and robust, useful both integrated in a larger automation system and as a stand-alone system. Does jam occasionally, but is fairly easy to clear and re-thread foil.

Great piece of kit to have for various plate based needs
Heat seal plates containing compounds
The plateloc system is easy to set up and use with a small footprint. It’s compatible with a wide range of plate types and seals to suit your needs. The customer service and aftercare is also excellent

The most reliable sealing device.
Next Gen Sequencing
Very reliable, easy to use, seal roll can be changed easily, lots of different settings, easy to integrate.

Compound Dispensing
This is a mini workhorse that has paid for itself multiple times over. The PlateLoc lets you adjust the time and temperature of heat sealing, and therefore works on a variety of plate types. One caveat is that we tried using heat seal tape from a secondary vendor and had some issues. So stick with the heat seal tape that comes from the original manufacturer. If the instrument has issues, the instrument can be swapped with a loaner or a service representative can come onsite, helping minimize down time.

Sealing Polypropylene And Polycarbonate Storage Plates
This heat sealer is very easy to operate and maintain. The heat sealing allows for a very consistent bond that is durable at our -20C storage temperature. Some considerations are that this instrument requires an external compressor and the heat seal can degrade the well chimney over time. As a result, a stack of ~40 plates that have been sealed 10-20 times may one or two mm shorter than 40 new plates. This can create issues for top stacking robots such as the Twister or Orbitor.
