Capit-All® Automated Screw Cap Tube Capper/Decapper
The Capit-All® Screw Cap Tube Capper/Decapper, is a new automated system for removing and replacing 96-format screw-cap storage tubes. The co-branded Thermo Scientific and The Automation Partnership Capit-All is designed to improve laboratory efficiency and increase the throughput of screening applications and the compact bench-top system will fit easily into any laboratory. The instrument´s robust design ensures reliable access and storage of samples in Thermo Scientific Matrix®, NUNC® and other screw-cap storage tubes, while reducing the risk of repetitive strain injury associated with manual decapping. The simple four-button user interface enables laboratory personnel of any level to operate the instrument. The Capit-All includes a special ‘anti-binding´ feature that prevents cross-threading and maintains seal integrity with pre-determined torque control. With the system, a drip tray and the air vacuum capability prevents contamination of samples during entry and removal, while the instrument´s high-quality engineering ensures samples remain debris-free. For ultimate sample and assay protection, it is also tolerant to specific de-contamination regimes based on hydrogen peroxide. | |
