For laboratories having to seal medium numbers of microplates the Mat Capper offers an affordable solution. Compact and portable, the Mat Capper is very easy to use, requiring only one operation of the system to produce an accurate and tight seal on a wide range of both collection and shallow well microplates. The seals used are EVA or silicone mats, which work by friction fit and are re-usable with care.
The Mat Capper can also be used with 2D bar-coded tube racks and their closure mats, including racks containing glass tubes, thanks to the clever design of the mechanism which will not crush one end of the rack but applies even pressure across the plate or rack.
