Bal Seal Engineering Inc
Company Description
Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. makes custom components that drive tomorrow's technologies. The company is a leading global provider of custom-engineered sealing, connecting, conducting, and EMI/RFI shielding and grounding solutions for analytical equipment, and it applies 50+ years of problem-solving experience to help OEMs and tier suppliers address their toughest engineering challenges. Products employ unique Bal Spring(r) canted coil spring technology to promote enhanced equipment performance and reliability.
Chief Spectroscopic Techniques Supported
- Quadrupole LC–MS
- TOF LC–MS
- MALDI-TOF MS
- ICP-MS
- Atomic spectroscopy
Markets Served
Bal Seal Engineering products improve the performance of liquid handling, chromatography, and diagnostic equipment. The company's Bal Seal(r) spring-energized seals ensure
performance accuracy and product consistency in multi-channel pipettors, and also enable designers of HPLC, UHPLC, SFC, and diagnostic pumps to answer end-user demand for better throughput, sample resolution, and reduced equipment downtime. The company's Bal Spring(r) canted coil springs ground and efficiently transfer electrical current in mass spectrometers and other spectroscopy instruments.
Major Products/Services
Bal Seal Engineering designs seals that deliver reliable, long-term performance in liquid chromatography pumps, and springs with mechanical fastening and electrical conducting properties. The company's reciprocating flange seal combines the Bal Spring(r) energizer with advanced polymer formulations to promote more uniform wear and longer service life. In UHPLC pressures of 15,000 PSI and above at temperatures up to 80 °C, it seals consistently for millions of cycles. The canted coil Bal Spring(r) enables mass spec designers to achieve constant ion alignment, no contamination, more accurate m/z measurement and minimal downtime.
Facility
Bal Seal Engineering designs and manufactures its products in two U.S. locations-Foothill Ranch, CA and Colorado Springs, CO. The company has built a network of engineering and sales offices worldwide, with locations in The Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, and Japan.

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
