Micronic Europe BV's Aluminium Decapper-8 enables quick and simple opening of lightly frozen sample-storage tubes for labs handling small numbers of cryogenically stored samples.
Accessing cryostored samples without subjecting them to the potential degradation that can arise from repeated freeze/thaw cycles has until now presented a challenge.
The sturdy Aluminium Decapper-8 lets users simultaneously open a row of eight lightly frozen capped storage tubes, thereby avoiding the need to thaw samples.
Compatible with a wide range of tube sizes (0.50, 0.75, 1.10, 1.40 and 2.50ml), the Aluminium Decapper-8 offers quick, convenient and smooth removal of lightly frozen tube caps.
Micronic is also offering a range of low-cost manual tools for removing TPE (thermo plastic elastomer) and screw caps from sample storage tubes.
Constructed in solvent-resistant polypropylene, the Manual Decapper-1 is the perfect tool for users looking to remove individual TPE caps.
The polypropylene Manual Decapper-8 gives users the ability to remove individual caps in rows of eight, or one Capband-8, at a time.
For screw cap tubes, Micronic is offering a 'one-turn' screw capping/decapping tool.
