PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer Quick Start

Potential hazards specific to the PlateLoc Sealer

Chemical hazards

High-temperature hazard

Moving-parts hazards The PlateLoc Sealer contains moving parts that can cause injury. Under normal operating conditions, the PlateLoc Sealer is designed to protect you from the moving parts. The door sensor is designed so that the seal cycle cannot start unless the door is closed.

WARNING To avoid potential injury, do not use chemicals that have low flash points in the PlateLoc Sealer. Such chemicals include reagents that are used in radioactive scintillation proximity assays (SPAs) and solvents, including alcohols.

WARNING The hot surfaces in the PlateLoc Sealer can cause a burn injury. Do not touch the PlateLoc Sealer or pry open the door while it is in operation. Use care when accessing the PlateLoc Sealer interior after the device is warmed up. Do not reach into the PlateLoc Sealer when it is warmed up to a high temperature. Do not touch the hot plate with your bare hands.

WARNING A freshly sealed microplate might still be hot from the sealing process. To prevent potential injury, use caution when removing a sealed microplate from the PlateLoc Sealer.

PlateLoc

WARNING Do not disable the door sensor or attempt to access the interior of the device through any other openings. Exposure to the moving parts, such as the heated metal plate (hot plate) or the seal-cutting blade can cause severe injuries.

Getting started

Turning on and turning off the power

Before turning on the PlateLoc Sealer, make sure:

The lab requirements are met.

You have properly installed the PlateLoc Sealer.

You are trained in the proper operation of the PlateLoc Sealer.

The on/off switch is on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer.

To turn on the PlateLoc Sealer: Press the on/off switch to the on position (I). If you have not yet turned on the air, the touchscreen displays the Insufficient Air Pressure error message. See Turning on and turning off the air on page 4. If you have not yet connected the air supply to the PlateLoc Sealer, see the PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer User Guide.

To turn off the PlateLoc Sealer:

Press the on/off switch to the off position (o). The touchscreen turns off.

Turning on and turning off the air

Before turning on the air, make sure:

You have properly installed the PlateLoc Sealer.

The air is turned on at the source (house, cylinder, or pump) and the air pressure and flow rate meet the PlateLoc Sealer requirements.

The PlateLoc Sealer is turned on.

The AIR ON/OFF switch is on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer.

To turn on the air:

Push the AIR ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

When you turn on the air, the PlateLoc Sealer door opens. If this is the first time you are turning on the air, you must remove the packing foam inside the sealing chamber before you can use the device.

To check that air is flowing into the PlateLoc Sealer:

Check the pressure gauge on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer. If air is flowing into the device, the gauge should show a non- zero pressure value.

If the gauge shows 0 psi, check the air tubing connections and the connections at the source (house, cylinder, or pump).

IMPORTANT The pressure reading on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer might be different from the value shown on the touchscreen. The pressure gauge on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer should be used to determine the presence of air flow only. To check the air pressure inside of the device, view the air pressure information displayed on the touchscreen.
