system procedure
In the Velocity11 lab automation system software, you set the sealing
parameters when you are setting the PlateLoc task parameters. For
detailed instructions, see the lab automation system software user guide,
such as the VWorks User Guide.
The seal time and temperature you specify depends on the type of plate
and the type of seal you are using. The table in “Standalone device
