Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched ABgene SmartCap mats to provide biomedical scientists with a fast and effective capping option for cluster tubes. SmartCap mats have a wide temperature range and are the only non-pierced septum plug seals currently available in the life sciences that can be stored down to vapour phase liquid nitrogen.
A further benefit of SmartCap mats is the reduced pierce force requirement. One-third of the pierce force is required for the SmartCap mat septum plugs compared to that required by other products on the market. This gives users the flexibility of single sample access when using robotic needles. Additionally, SmartCap mats offer reduced vapour transmission, ensuring minimal sample loss or excess moisture take-up.
