Chapter 5: Optimizing seal quality
PlateLoc User Guide
Poor seal that requires parameter adjustment. If there are faint or
broken impressions on the seal material, increase either the
sealing temperature or duration.
If the well impressions on the seal are extra thick and the plate
has melted slightly, decrease the sealing temperature or
duration.
Insert too thin. If the wells around the edges of the plate sealed
better than those in the center, use a thicker insert.
Insert too thick. If the wells in the center of the plate sealed better
than those around the edges, use a thinner insert.
