Automated Screw Cap Decapping for Integration
The Integrated I.D. Capper features all of the utility of the standalone version and allows users to seamlessly integrate these features with their Hamilton Microlab STAR. With the addition of an extended linear rail, tube racks and cap holder racks can be presented directly onto the deck of the STAR allowing for easy automation of tube processing workflows. Easily swap decapping heads to decap tubes in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks, all on a single device.
Features of the Integrated I.D. Capper
- Decap in 24-, 48-, and 96-format tube racks with internal and external threads from all common labware suppliers
