The ScrewCap DeCapper available from Micronic Europe BV is acompact, automated instrument for the opening and closing of screw-capped tubes(0.5 - 1.4ml). The programmable ScrewCap DeCapper opens a row of 12 tubessimultaneously, increasing productivity over one-at-a-time methods andproviding more flexibility than systems that decap 96 tubes at once. Decappingor recapping of a complete rack of 96-screw capped tubes takes less than oneminute. The instrument operates from outside to inside rows, eliminating thepossibility of drip contamination that can occur with the 96-tube decappers.Built-in torque monitoring ensures a consistent seal and reports the exactlocation in the event a tube is not completely sealed. After removal, the capsare placed on a separate, removable cap holder, which enables batch processing.The ScrewCap DeCapper can operate as a standalone system or can be simplyintegrated with most commercial automated pipetting workstations.
