LabElite DeCapper SL

Automated Screw Cap Decapper
The
DeCapper SL is the latest easy-to-use device that provides automated
decapping/capping of tubes with internal or external threads. Easily swap
decapping heads to decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks, all on a
single device. The device easily fits in where bench space is limited due to
its 20% decrease in size from the DeCapper. The device can be operated as a
standalone unit, or integrated to Hamilton Robotics liquid handlers, or
third-party robotic arms.
Features of the DeCapper SL
- Can be operated as a standalone device, or integrated with a liquid handling system or third-party robotic arm
- Can be easily positioned next to liquid handling devices for access by on-deck grippers to move labware to and from the device providing users more space to integrate other peripheral devices and maximize space
- Easily swap decapping heads to decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks on a single device
- Decap only tubes needed—all rows, selected rows or columns, or partial racks
- Process tubes in landscape format
- 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

New Feature: 6-Channel Head
- Enables use of 24-format tubes in addition to 48- and 96-format tubes
- Decaps a wide variety of internally or externally threaded tubes and vials
- Allows laboratories to work with tube volumes and types that are most appropriate for their specific needs
