Compact decapper streamlines lab tube handling

Azenta Life Sciences has introduced the IntelliXcap™ S1 - an intuitive, single-tube decapper/recapper designed to eliminate strain and streamline the manual processing of large-format tubes in busy laboratories.

Compatible with a wide variety of tube sizes and styles - from centrifuge and cell culture tubes to glass sample vials (11–40 mm diameter) - the IntelliXcap S1 removes the need for manual cap gripper changes. This built-in versatility allows users to switch between tube types without interruptions, simplifying workflows across different applications.

With its ergonomic, one-handed operation, the IntelliXcap S1 is built for comfort and ease, reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries during routine use. The motorised system applies consistent torque every time, ensuring a secure, reliable seal that protects sample integrity while removing the variability of manual recapping.

Designed to fit into tight spaces - including biosafety cabinets and crowded workbenches - the IntelliXcap S1 delivers high performance in a small footprint. It’s an ideal solution for labs looking to improve consistency and throughput without sacrificing valuable bench space.

Whether supporting daily sample prep or occasional processing tasks, the IntelliXcap S1 offers a dependable and cost-effective upgrade for any lab still relying on manual recapping.
