Hamilton Decapper

Now available is the Hamilton LabElite I.D. Capper- Automated screw cap decapper and 2D barcode tube reader Several Available!! 

The all-in-one I.D. Capper enables labs to combine decapping/capping and high-speed barcode reading within one device without any additional user interaction. This device is specifically designed to eliminate sample contamination and assist with sample tracking during end-to-end automated liquid handling processing.

Flexible Automated Tube Decapping and Barcode Reading

• 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 in portrait or landscape format
• Operate as a standalone device or integrate with a Microlab VANTAGE Liquid Handling System or third-party robotic arm
• Optional 1D barcode reading for racks
• Multiple tube heights can be read within the same rack
• Highly-configurable output options for smooth integration into LIMS or databases

Sample Security

• Eliminates risk of cross contamination by not moving over opened tubes
• Minimize the time a tube is open using the optional Row Loop Mode—only one row is processed at a time by holding caps after decapping and immediately recapping
• Built-in Secure Mode ensures an optimal seal during capping to eliminate cross threading

Ease-of-Use

• Touchscreen panel provides easy navigation through the system
• Turntable allows rack to be turned after decapping for better positioning in pipetting workflows
• No spacers needed for labware
• Compact and ergonomic design supports efficient workflow
• Automatically detects the tube rack type to use optimal settings

Efficiency

• Scan, decap, and pipette without picking up the rack
• Start the 2D barcode scan and automatic upload of barcode information to LIMS with a single button
• Barcode reader processes a 96-format microtube rack in less than 3 seconds, and a 384-format tube rack in 5 seconds

LabElite 6-Channel Head

• Enables use of 24-format tubes in addition to 48- and 96-format tubes 
• Decap 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
