Low Pressure Sealing is Focus of Bal Seal Exhibit at Lab Auto 2010

Palm Springs, California – January 22nd, 2010 – Low pressure, low friction sealing solutions will be the central feature of an exhibit hosted by Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. at the Lab Automation 2010 trade event, held January 24-26 in Palm Springs, Calif.

Bal Seal, a global provider of custom-engineered sealing, connecting, conducting and shielding/grounding solutions with locations in the U.S., Europe and Asia, will be displaying a range of seals designed to perform in the low-pressure environments common to equipment used in liquid handling and other types of laboratory automation processes. The company’s exhibit will showcase seals and sealing components made from PTFE and UHMWPE, and energized with Canted-coil™ spring technology.

According to the company, its spring-energized seals offer superior protection against leakage in applications where pressures range from 14.7 to .29 PSI. They also exhibit extremely low friction, making them ideal for use in automated pipetting workstations and other critical equipment employed in drug discovery, diagnostics, genomics and proteomics.

Also featured in the Bal Seal exhibit will be demonstration samples and a detailed animation that illustrate how Canted-coil™ springs can be effectively used as standalone components to mate hardware, conduct current and protect sensitive electronics from the harmful effects of electromagnetic interference.
