Product news

Micronic BV has introduced the Automatic Capmat Sealer a new 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 compact Automatic Capmat Sealer enables significant productivity gains to be made in the sealing of multiple sample storage tubes. Affordably priced, the Automatic Capmat Sealer caps a full (or partially filled) 96-tube rack in less than 5 seconds.

Designed to seal all types of sample storage tubes (0.5ml - 1.4ml) the Automatic Capmat Sealer 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.

Operation is safe and user friendly - simply place a rack of tubes into the access tray, position the Capmat™ or Capcluster™ on the tubes, close the access tray and push the start button. An innovative controlled pressure system ensures that all tubes are capped in one action with the optimum required pressure to produce a high integrity seal. To complete the operation the user simply has to open the access tray to retrieve the capped rack of tubes.

Dedicated to the design and production of innovative sample storage tubes, accessories and instruments over the last 25 years, Micronic is uniquely able to offer laboratories the expert advice to help them safeguard one of its most valuable assets - its samples.
