PlatePierce Microplate Piercer

The Agilent PlatePierce is a high-precision microplate piercing instrument designed to prepare sealed plates for downstream workflows without compromising sample integrity. Engineered for speed, consistency, and automation compatibility, the PlatePierce cleanly penetrates plate seals to allow pipette access—eliminating the need for manual peeling that can cause contamination or sample loss.

With its robust build and adaptable configuration, the PlatePierce works seamlessly with SBS-standard plates and is ideal for genomics, drug discovery, compound management, and high-throughput screening applications. The system’s automated plate handling and precise piercing heads ensure reproducible results across a wide range of sealing materials.
