Cross-contamination & evaporation
Automation enables optimum quality control through uniform secure sealing of plates – minimising evaporation of precious reagents and risk of cross-contamination - while accurate, automated peeling using the automated plate seal remover further reduces risk of cross-contamination from sample run-off.
Time lost due to bottlenecks
Automating plate sealing and peeling steps results in faster processing of plates and helps laboratories to increase throughput while also freeing up scientist time. Integration into robotic workfl ows further improves the workfl ow, providing a walk-away system.
Cost
Automated heat sealing of plates provides a reduction in cost compared to other sealing methods, such as caps or adhesive seals, while increased preservation of sample integrity through minimising cross contamination and evaporation, means that precious samples and reagents will be saved.
Facilities specifi cations
Eliminating the requirement for compressed air, the automated roll heat sealer can be installed quickly and has the fl exibility to be moved within the laboratory either as a standalone benchtop unit or integrated robotic setup, independent of air supply.

Optimised plating of bacterial and yeast cells on agar plates AMSBIO’s EZ-Spread™ Plating Beads offer a faster, safer, and more efficient way to plate bacterial and yeast cells on agar plates, eliminating the need for traditional glass rods and ethanol flaming. This innovative solution streamlines the plating process, reducing the risk of contamination and enhancing lab productivity.
Manufactured with precision moulds, EZ-Spread Plating Beads are designed for uniform shape and diameter, ensuring even distribution of cells. This results in more consistent colony formation compared to conventional methods, making them ideal for high-throughput applications.
EZ-Spread Plating Beads are available in convenient dispenser bottles for 100 plates or single-use tubes for 50 plates. Supplied pre- sterilised and ready to use, they allow researchers to plate multiple samples simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency. The pre- sterilised, ready-to-use packaging ensures a safe, straightforward experience.
EZ-Spread™ Plating Beads are an indispensable tool for modern laboratories looking to optimise cell plating while maintaining high safety standards.
