Product news
Integrated Technologies Ltd revealed the new addition to their VITL product range in Düsseldorf at MEDICA 2009. The microTS is a heat sealer for sealing foils and films to microplates, PCR plates and deepwell plates. It has a small footprint and a set temperature of 170°C.
Whilst the microTS is not yet in full production, the VITL Product Manager, Kay Newell reported there was a lot of interest at MEDICA. “The show has been fantastic for us and we’ve never had so many people visit our VITL stand”, she said. “There was so much interest in the microTS we know it’s going to be a successful selling product.”

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
