  • Patent number: 8043685
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a sheet applicable for closing an opening of a liquid dispensing container for a liquid handling system used in chemical experiments, in which the sheet is capable of preventing natural volatilization of a liquid in the container even if the tip is frequently inserted and drawn, and also facilitating inserting and drawing of the tip. The composite sheet of the present invention comprises a sheet having elastic property and another sheet having slip property wherein the sheets are stacked. The composite sheet of the present invention can be used to close an opening of a liquid dispensing container for a liquid handling system used in chemical experiments. It can prevent volatilization of the solvent, and also facilitate inserting and drawing of the tip.
