Porvair Sciences has launched Autocapper - an electronic applicator that enables friction sample seals to be quickly and securely applied to both microplates and microtube racks.
The simplicity of the Autocapper design, which features a drawer to hold the microplate and cap mat, is designed to ensure reliable, high integrity sample sealing over many years’ service. Incorporating a powerful motor, the Autocapper is able to apply sufficient force to fit cap mats of varying materials to most commercially-available deep well plates.
A special feature of the Autocapper is its ability to accurately apply sealing caps to 96 position bar coded microtube racks, giving a high integrity seal every time. The unit can be bolted down to a bench for extra stability and adaptors are available to also enable sealing of shallow well plates using the device.
The Autocapper joins Porvair Sciences range of manual and automated equipment designed to assist laboratories improve the reliability and productivity of their solvent evaporation and sample sealing tasks.
