Tired of Opening and Closing Screw Cap Tubes?

Do not manually open or close screw cap tubes any longer. The HAMILTON DeCapper will take care of this for you while you use your time for more interesting tasks. Its straightforward and intuitive touch screen interface allows very simple operation. It is the only instrument available that enables you to open (respectively close) several racks in a row.

Additionally you can open or close single rows or a complete rack. It includes a unique sensor that detects and controls the movements of the caps and provides you with superior process safety.

Many quality and safety functions have been designed into the Hamilton DeCapper. The instrument operates from outside to inside rows, eliminating the possibility of drip contamination that can occur with the 96-tube DeCappers. Built-in torque monitoring ensures a consistent seal and reports the exact location in the event a tube is not completely sealed.

After removal, the caps are placed on a separate, removable cap holder, which enables batch processing. Ideal applications for the DeCapper include storage of biological materials like DNA, cells, blood, tissue and plant materials as well as compound library storage in drug discovery research.

The DeCapper can operate as a standalone system or controlled by the MicroLab® Venus One software, for integration with Hamilton Robotics’automated pipetting workstations. For added flexibility, the DeCapper remains available for manual runs without removing it from the integrated workstation.

It is also an ideal accessory for the Sample Access Manager platforms from Hamilton Storage Technologies, including the company’s -20˚C and -80˚C storage systems. The DeCapper is compatible with tubes from Matrix, Micronic and Nunc.
