Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention pertains to a system for processing involving pipetting and/or analyzing liquid samples comprising a sealing arrangement for heat-sealing a microplate (28) having an upper face provided with a plurality of open-top wells (5), comprising a pressing element (8) provided with a pressing face for pressing a thermally fixable sealing cover (9) for sealing said wells on said microplate and a plurality of heat releasing sections (12) located in a manner to release heat to said microplate-pressed sealing cover except for foil regions covering openings of said wells. It further relates to a method for heat-sealing a microplate provided with a plurality of wells, comprising the following steps of: disposing a thermally fixable sealing cover over said wells; pressing said sealing cover on said microplate by means of a pressing element; and releasing heat to said sealing cover except for regions covering openings of said wells so as to thermally fix said sealing cover to said microplate.
