Thermo Fisher Scientific has jointly introduced the Capit-All IS Automated Capper/Decapper with the Automation Partnership, at Labautomation 2010.
The robust, high-throughput instrument is said to be able to decap or recap an entire rack of samples in less than 10sec.
Secure capping is ensured as each tube is individually sealed by its own separate clutch mechanism to the optimal torque, while all 96 caps are secured simultaneously for fast, quality capping.
The incorporation of an automated drip tray and a vacuum-extraction port reduce any risk of contamination.
The compact, benchtop Capit-All IS Automated Capper/Decapper is easily integrated with automated liquid-handling instrumentation.
Its intuitive design enables it to be easily operated by any laboratory personnel with the push of a button and no training is needed.
Composed of specially moulded parts, any possible distortion and damage to the caps after repeated use is prevented.
As a result, the life span of the tubes and caps is significantly increased.
