LabElite I.D. Capper
Automated Screw Cap Decapper and 2D Barcode Tube Reader
The
all-in-one I.D. Capper enables labs to combine decapping/capping and high-speed
barcode reading within one device without any additional hardware. This device
is specifically designed to eliminate sample contamination and assist with
sample tracking during end-to-end automated liquid handling processing. Easily
swap decapping heads to decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks, all
on a single device.
Features of the I.D. Capper
- 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 portrait or landscape format within one device
- Can be operated as a standalone device or integrated with a Microlab VANTAGE Liquid Handling System or third-party robotic arm
- 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 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
