Capper / De-Capper

Automated Capping and De-Capping Solutions

 
 

Automated capping and de-capping of containers is a critical process for many lab environments to ensure sample integrity. The team at Applied Scientific Technologies (AST) have recently developed a capping and de-capping solution that can automate an entire process, eliminating mistakes and a manual process that can be time consuming, tedious and capable of causing repetitive motion injuries.

 
Automated Capper and De-Capper
 
 

  • Applies and remove screw caps from your containers/tubes and then stores the cap for later retrieval

  • Designed to improve efficiency, the capper/de-capper can be used as a stand-alone instrument or integrated into a fully automated laboratory environment

  • Uses a pneumatic gripping technique to deliver enough torque to apply and remove screw caps

  • The gripper adapts for different container sizes

  • The capper/de-capper rotates the sample to scan either a 1D or 2D barcode. Once the sample is returned it then rotates and scans the barcode again and retrieves the correct cap to the sample
