Micronic has introduced the Automatic Capmat Sealer, an easy-to-use device for producing a high integrity seal on 96-tube sample storage racks. With the ever-growing requirement for higher sample throughput in many laboratories the instrument enables significant productivity gains to be made in the sealing of multiple sample storage tubes. It caps a full (or partially filled) 96-tube rack in less than five seconds. Designed to seal all types of sample storage tubes (0.5 ml1.4 ml) the device is both easy to install and to use. Robustly designed the device ensures reliable and reproducible sealing of sample storage tubes each and every time. A controlled pressure system ensures that all tubes are capped in one action with the optimum required pressure to produce a high integrity seal.
