An apparatus for sealing a microplate (10) comprises a seal material (28) and a seal advancer (46). The seal advancer is capable of capturing the seal material and pulling the seal material into the apparatus. The seal advancer may further include a moveable seal transfer plate (132) having at least one vacuum pad. The seal transfer plate (132) is capable of holding the seal material against a top surface of the seal transfer plate. When the seal transfer plate (132) moves, the seal material sticks to the top surface moving along with the moving seal transfer plate (132). The apparatus further includes a touch screen monitor capable of displaying temperature and time parameters. The apparatus also includes a heat plate (136) for sealing the seal material (28) onto a top surface of the microplate (10) and a plate carrier (140) for moving the microplate into the apparatus.

L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de sceller une microplaque (10), lequel appareil comprend un matériau de scellement (28) et un dispositif d'avance (46). Le dispositif d'avance permet de piéger le matériau de scellement et de le tirer dans l'appareil. Le dispositif d'avance peut comporter, en outre, une plaque de transfert de scellement mobile (132) pourvue d'un tampon à vide. Ladite plaque de transfert (132) peut maintenir le matériau de scellement contre une surface supérieure de la plaque de transfert de scellement. Lorsque ladite plaque (132) se déplace, le matériau adhère à la surface supérieure et se déplace avec la plaque de transfert de scellement mobile (132). L'appareil selon l'invention comporte également un moniteur à écran tactile permettant d'afficher des paramètres de température et de temps. L'appareil comporte enfin une plaque chauffante (136) servant à sceller le matériau de scellement (28) sur une surface supérieure de la microplaque (10), ainsi qu'un porte-plaques (140) servant à déplacer la microplaque dans l'appareil.
