The all-in-one I.D. Capper enables labs to combine both automated tube capping and decapping with high-speed barcode reading within one device without any additional hardware. This automated capper is specifically designed to eliminate sample contamination and assist with sample tracking during end-to-end automated liquid handling processing. Easily swap heads to cap or decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks, all on a single device.
Features of the I.D. Tube Capper
Cap or decap only tubes needed—all rows, selected rows or columns, or partial racks
Tube capper can process tubes in portrait or landscape format within one device
Capper can be operated as a standalone device or integrated with a Microlab VANTAGE Liquid Handling System or third-party robotic arm
Hamilton cappers can easily swap decapping heads to decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks
Built-in Secure Mode ensures an optimal seal during capping to eliminate cross threading
Minimize the time a tube is open using optional Row Loop Mode—only one row is processed at a time by holding caps after decapping and immediately recapping
Single button execution of 1D and 2D scan and automatic upload of barcode information to LIMS
New Capper Feature: 6-Channel Head
Hamilton automated capping machines enable use of 24-format tubes in addition to 48- and 96-format tubes
Caps and decaps a wide variety of internally or externally threaded tubes and vials
Allows laboratories to work with tube volumes and types of caps that are most appropriate for their specific needs
