- Flexible sample access with either mats or plugs
- Choose from bulk packaging, racked configurations for easy application after filling tubes, or pre-installed Abgene Multisip Plugs in any Abgene storage tube
- Low piercing force required to access samples
- Easily pierceable by robotic liquid handling needles and can be effectively resealed
- All tube capping products undergo high levels of quality control to ensure sample integrity
Secure Sample Integrity
- Abgene Multisip Plugs and Abgene SmartCap Mats are made of an advanced thermoplastic elastomer that offers excellen chemical resistance and low vapor transmission rates, minimizing evaporation and water uptake in DMSO-based samples
- Elastomer ensures sealing performance will not degrade, even after hundreds of cap piercings
Abgene SmartCap Mats
- Supplied in 96 format racked configuration, so tubes can be accessed with multichannel pipettes or automated liquid handling systems then capped, all 96 tubes at once
- Subsequent sample access can be done by removing individual caps or 8 at a time with the Abgene SmartCap Tool, or by piercing the caps many times with robotic liquid handling needles
- Use the Thermo Scientific SuperSealer for fast, reliable sealing of storage tubes
Abgene Multisip Plugs
- All 96 sample tubes can be accessed at once to speed up sample throughput with robotic liquid handling systems
- Designed for storage down to the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen
- Once sealed, each tube can be pierced by an automated liquid handling probe or needle as the plug's V-shaped design reliably guides liquid handling needles to the same location repeatedly
- Patented resealing feature protects long term sample integrity
- Available in bulk or pre-installed in any Thermo Scientific Abgene storage tube or in an 8 x 12 format for high throughput tube filling and cap applications
Compatible with: The Thermo Scientific SuperSealer enables fast, reliable sealing of storage tubes with Abgene SmartCap mats. Simply position the mat over the tubes, place the rack in the SuperSealer and close the drawer. Seals are securely applied in just a few seconds. Multisip Plugs may be ordered pre-racked for use with the Abgene Multisip Plug Applicator which enables filling and capping of 96 tubes at once.
Recommended for: Individual sample retrieval; Sample storage; Secure shipping of samples; Storage of genomic samples, DMSO dissolved compounds
