How It's Used

Transitioning your lab to a fully automated workflow can be a lengthy process. A semi-automated device can be your solution in the meantime, and it can always be used for tedious future projects that don't require a full benchtop device.

Hamilton LabElite Handheld DeCapper

Grab-and-Go Operation

The battery-powered LabElite Handheld DeCapper rests in its charging and docking station so that it is fully prepared for use at a moment’s notice. An ergonomic grip and design prevent repetitive use injuries while the intuitive cap, decap, and eject lever makes capping and decapping sample tube fast and user-friendly. Users can opt to keep caps securely on the LabElite Handheld DeCapper while the sample tube is being used. A drip tray in the docking station serves to protect your lab space from spills or liquid droplets.

Applied LabElite Decapping

Our LabElite technology is leveraged in this budget-friendly and semi-automated tube decapping tool. 6- and 8-channel models can decap a complete rack of 96 or 48 tubes, and interchangeable adapter bits along with adjustable torque levels support tubes and vials from major manufacturers. This compatibility extends to tubes with external threads and internal threads.

See how easy it is to use this handheld decapper with Hamilton’s sample storage tubes and RackWare standard-density racks.

Common applications Biobanking, Pharma & Biopharma, Gene and Cell Therapy, Bioprocess Downstream, Analytical Development and QC

Any user can gain speed and efficiency using this semi-automated decapper with buttons to cap, decap, and eject, and quick-connect adapter bits.

The LabElite Handheld DeCapper increases capping and decapping efficiencies without the capital expense and footprint of a fully automated decapper.

An ergonomic design reduces the risk of physical strain, and precise torque levels protect against cross-threaded caps.
