Capit-All Screw Cap Tube Capper/Decapper
Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Thermo Scientific & The Automation Partnership (TAP) Capit-All removes and replaces screw caps on 96-format storage tubes with precision and ease. The instrument's robust design ensures reliable, high throughput access and storage of samples in Thermo Scientific Matrix®, Nunc® and other screw cap storage tubes, while reducing risk of repetitive strain injury.Benefits • Increase laboratory throughput • Enhance ergonomics • Ensure sample protection Enhanced Productivity Increase laboratory throughput and improve ergonomics by replacing cumbersome handwork with rapid decapping and capping of 96 tubes at once (in approximately 10 seconds/rack). Automatically remove and replace caps on tubes of differing heights, even in the same rack, as well as tubes not properly seated in racks. Superior Sample Protection Safety features ensure that racks are loaded in the correct orientation, as well as prevent cross-threading or overtightening of caps. A drip tray prevents cross contamination of samples during entry and removal, while the instrument's high-quality engineering ensures samples remain debris-free. Ease of Use The simple four-button user interface enables laboratory personnel of any level to operate the instrument.
