Accelerating Workflow in Sample Storage Laboratories

Available from Micronic BV, specialists in traceable sample storage solutions, is a new task dedicated instrument that accelerates the time consuming and tedious process of removing caps from sample storage tubes.

With the ever-growing requirement for higher sample throughput in many laboratories the new Auto Decapper system enables significant productivity gains to be made in the opening of multiple sample storage tubes.

Easy to install and operate the Auto Decapper automatically removes and disposes of the caps from a full 96-tube rack in less than 10 seconds. Operation is safe and user friendly - simply place a rack of capped tubes onto the access tray, push the start button and the Auto Decapper will in one action gently remove all the caps. Not only does the Auto Decapper increase productivity but it also reduces the possibilities of sample cross-contamination with an integrated cap disposal device to ensure that caps are not reused.

The Auto Decapper can be used as a stand-alone instrument or can be assimilated into a fully automated environment and controlled via the instruments serial port or contact switch closure. Compatible with all Micronic coded tube racks and capping products the DeCapper requires just a mains power source for operation.
