An apparatus for aseptic sealing a capsule having coaxial parts that at least partly overlap when telescopically joined, the apparatus comprising: a capsule carrier assembly provided with at least one cavity for accommodating a respective capsule therein； a clamping member comprising a first half and a second half disposed on either side of the cavity at a capsule processing station, and each half arranged to linearly displace towards the cavity containing the capsule to a clamped position over and/or around at least a portion of the capsule； wherein the clamping member comprises a sealing means adapted to apply a sealing fluid uniformly to a circumferential gap around the capsule to be sealed when in the clamped position, and wherein the clamping member further comprises a suction means adapted to provide an area of low pressure around the capsule after application of the sealing fluid so as to remove any excess sealing fluid from the capsule when in the same clamped position.
