Automated Tube Sealer
The Critical Need for Automated Tube Resealing in Modern Labs
Problems with Manual or Improper Resealing
1. Sample Integrity Risks
- Evaporation alters analyte concentrations (e.g., ethanol, volatile drugs)
- Exposure to air causes pH shifts in blood gas samples
- Increased risk of contamination from environmental particulates
2. Storage & Retest Challenges
- Manual Parafilm/capping fails 12-18% of the time during freezer storage
- No consistent seal pressure → sample degradation during long-term archiving
3. Workplace Hazards
- Staff injuries from repetitive hand-sealing motions (300+ tubes/day)
- Biohazard exposure when handling uncapped retain tubes
4. Compliance Gaps
- No audit trail for reseal times/staff (violates 21 CFR Part 11 requirements)
- Inconsistent seals fail accreditation inspections (CAP/CLIA)
5. Wasted Resources
- 8-10% of manually resealed samples become unusable for add-on tests
- Labor costs for dedicated staff to handle resealing workflows
Automated Resealing:
The Quality Control Solution
Precision Advantages:
✔ Gas-Tight Seals – Maintains CO2/O2 levels for blood gas stability
✔ Barcode-Linked Tracking – Documents exact reseal time/operator
✔ High-Throughput – Processes 500+ tubes/hour with zero fatigue
Measurable Benefits:
→ 42% reduction in sample rejection for add-on testing
→ Eliminates 1.0 FTE of manual labor per shift
→ 100% compliance with FDA/ISO storage requirements
→ 23% longer sample stability for toxicology/endocrine tests
Key Decision Factors:
◼ Integration: Works with major LIS and existing tube types?
◼ Footprint: Fits in existing post-analytical workflows?
◼ ROI: 9-14 month payback period typical?
