Hot Lips Tube Sealer

The Hot Lips Tube Sealer is a portable device used to thermally seal thermoplastic tubing. Leak and tamper-proof seals are ideal for the transport and setup of inoculums, media, and buffers.

Features include keypad selectable programs for virtually all types and sizes of thermoplastic tubing up to 1.25 inch OD. No adapters required over the entire size range. Rugged, stainless steel construction with carrying handle. Requires only 110 VAC power. Lightweight unit makes it usable anywhere in the plant or laboratory. Microprocessor controlled motor ensures repeatable performance.

Features:

  • Easy to operate.
  • Seals 0.25 to 1.25 inch OD thermoplastic tubing.
  • For Pharmed, C-Flex, PVC or similar tubing.
  • True thermal seal provides tamperproof protection.
  • Seal pressure rating comparable to tubing burst pressure.
  • Requires only 110/220 VAC.
  • Compact, ultraportable 18 lb machine.
  • No compressed air or cooling water needed.
  • Automated validatable 2-3 minute sealing cycle.
  • No accessories required for operation.


Hot Lips Tube Sealer

Applications:

  • Tamperproof, leak proof seals.
  • Sealing bioprocess bags and bioreactors.
  • In-process pooling.
  • Sampling operations.
  • Storage vessel closure.






Hot Lips Tube Sealer

Technology:

Single-button operation interface

A single button closes the jaws and initiates the sealing operation. Releasing the button prior to complete closure aborts the sequence and automatically retracts the jaws to the full open position.		  

Keypad/LCD for tubing selection

The keypad/LCD displays the progress of the sealing operation and provides easy-to-understand operator prompts. The keypad can also be used to scroll through the list of pre-programmed tubing types and even to add or edit user tubing parameters.		  

Microprocessor motion controller

An advanced motion control system positions the sealing jaws with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. This ensures that every tubing diameter and wall thickness is repeatedly sealed to precise thickness. The positioning system also eliminates the need for expensive and cumbersome tubing adaptors to accommodate the wide range of sizes, from 0.25 to 1.25 inch OD. The powerful jaws can exert over 1 ton of pressure to handle heavy wall tubing.		  

Self-calibrating

The only routine calibration required is zeroing the jaw distance. This can be done every few months by the user by simply pressing a button. Temperature sensor calibration protocol can be provided upon request.		  

Field-upgradable

A PC port on the machine can be used to download program updates and new tubing tables from disk or email. The device does not need to be returned. A keyswitch eliminates unauthorized programming access.

Tubing Tested
The Hot Lips Tube Sealer is preprogrammed for various tubing types, diameter, and wall thickness. The appropriate tubing type can be selected from the keypad. Custom tubing types or sizes can be programmed. The machine cannot be used to seal silicone or PTFE tubing.
PharMed™ Ideal. Very high purity tubing. Can be autoclaved or SIP. Long life in peristaltic pumps. Standard Hot Lips Tube Sealer is optimized for PharMed™.
C-Flex™ Advantage of translucency and lower cost. Standard Hot Lips Tube Sealer is optimized for C-Flex™.
Sanipure™ Clear, flexible, low-extractable.
Tygon™ High quality brand of PVC. Strong, clear tubing.
PVC Low cost but poor fatigue life. Cannot be autoclaved. May leach plasticizers.
