SAMPLE ENCAPSULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/014925

A3

A sample encapsulation system (10) includes a base(12), a chamber (16) having an inlet (34) and a chamber housing (14) in which the chamber is housed. The chamber (16) is fixedly mounted at least in part within the housing (14) and the housing is movably mounted to the base (12). The system includes a cap (70), a first ram (74) operably mounted to the cap (70) for engaging the chamber inlet (34) and a second ram (92) positioned in the chamber (16) opposite the inlet (3). The second ram (92) is movable toward and away from the first ram (74). The chamber (16) and housing (14) are movable toward the cap (70) for engaging the first ram (74) with the chamber inlet (34) during an encapsulation cycle and away from the cap (70), disengaging the first ram (74) from the chamber inlet (34) following an encapsulation cycle. The system includes heating and cooling assemblies and a temperature sensor located remotely from the chamber interior to automatically isolate cooling water to the system.
