The following types of sample containers are NOT supported by the Sealer: Glass tubes Pediatric / capillary tubes Lipped tubes (not flat rim) False-bottom tubes that are loaded in a special false-bottom tube rack Calibrator and QC samples NOTE: Refer to the Atellica® Solution Online Help for a complete list of the supported sample containers. Identify hardware components and their function The Atellica Sealer module seals sample containers with foil. It delivers the foil by unrolling a small section of aluminum foil, cutting it into a square, and heat sealing it to adhere to the top of the sample containers. Foil Roll Cover - located on the top of the Sealer Brake Release Button - used to move the Sealer carriage manually up and down when power to the Sealer head is disabled Spindle - a spring loaded mount that holds the foil roll and provides foil tension. To the right of the spindle is the tension wheel, which also provides tension to the foil Foil Feed Carriage - controls the sealing foil feed, and the foil cutting, crimping, and welding Foil Feed Cover - a removable cover that includes reference feed line used when a new roll is installed Foil Feed Roller - a passive roller to guide the foil into the channel correctly Foil Feed Wheel - a hand operated wheel used to manually feed foil that has been installed onto the Sealer Sealer Head - provides the heat to weld the sealing foil onto the tubes Primary Crimper - the blank round opening around the plunger (the plunger is the white rubber paddle). The Primary Crimper performs the primary weld of the foil to the sample container Foil Feed Sensor - detects the presence of foil Secondary Crimper - extends out from under the foil feed carriage after the primary weld, to crimp the foil edges tightly around the tube. When not crimping, it is retracted under the Foil Feed Carriage Power Switch - located on the side of the system Disclaimer Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only.

The purpose of this cover is to protect the foil roll from dust. Untitled Slide The Brake Release Button is used to move the Sealer carriage manually up and down when power to the Sealer head is disabled, such as when the Atellica Magline Transport covers are removed. Untitled Slide The spindle is a spring loaded mount that holds the foil roll and provides foil tension. To the right of the spindle is the tension wheel, which also provides tension to the foil. Untitled Slide The Foil Feed Carriage is located beneath the foil roll. This carriage controls the sealing foil feed, as well as the cutting, crimping, and welding of the foil. Untitled Slide The Foil Feed Cover is a removable cover for the foil feed channel which includes a feed line to give operators a reference point on where to feed the foil when a new roll is installed. Untitled Slide The Foil Feed Roller is a passive roller to guide the foil into the channel correctly. Beneath the foil feed roller is the foil track. Untitled Slide The Foil Feed Wheel is a hand operated wheel used to manually feed foil that has been installed onto the Sealer. Untitled Slide Now let’s look at the components that are part of the primary crimper and the secondary crimper. Untitled Slide From here we can see the primary crimper (the black round opening), plunger (the white rubber paddle), and foil feed sensor (the metal spike on the edge). The Primary Crimper performs the primary weld of the foil to the sample container. The Foil Feed Sensor detects the presence of foil. Untitled Slide This is the secondary crimper, which has a smaller diameter than the primary crimper. The secondary crimper extends out after the primary weld, to crimp the foil edges tightly around the tube. When not crimping, it is retracted under the Foil Feed Carriage. Untitled Slide The Power Switch is located on the side of the system. Untitled Slide This completes the overview of system components on the Atellica Sealer.
