New Fontijne Presses LabTop 20: compact laboratory press for precision at low closing forces

Controlled low-force compression molding for modern material development

An increasing number of laboratory applications require precise control at low closing forces.

From microfluidics and battery research to CoC processing, pharmaceutical development and organ-on-a-chip applications, delicate materials and microstructures demand reproducible compression with highly accurate force control.

With the introduction of the new Fontijne Presses LabTop 20, Benelux Scientific now offers a compact benchtop laboratory press specifically developed for these low-force applications.

Precision control in a compact benchtop format

The LabTop 20 combines controlled low closing forces with a compact laboratory footprint and a standard 230 V connection, making the system easy to integrate into R&D, university and innovation environments.

The laboratory press supports applications where reproducibility, controlled sample preparation and precise process control are essential.

Key features of the new LabTop 20

  • Closing force range from 0.9 to 20 kN
  • Fine force control in 0.1 kN increments
  • Compact benchtop format
  • Standard 230 V connection
  • Designed for reliable daily laboratory use
  • Suitable for controlled low-force compression applications

For applications where standard pressing forces are too high

The LabTop 20 is specifically designed for laboratories working with delicate materials, thin structures or limited sample quantities.

Typical application areas include:

  • Microfluidics
  • Organ-on-a-chip development
  • Battery research
  • Cyclo Olefin Copolymer (CoC) processing
  • Drug encapsulation
  • Advanced polymer and material development

Expanding the Fontijne Presses low-force portfolio

With the LabTop 20 and the LabEcon 100, Benelux Scientific now offers a complete range of Fontijne Presses low-force laboratory presses, from compact benchtop solutions to larger floor-standing systems.

While the LabTop 20 focuses on compact integration and low closing forces for sensitive applications, the larger LabEcon 100 provides additional capabilities for applications requiring higher capacities.
