Product Details
The Semi-Automated Handheld Screw Cap Decapper provides users with a flexible solution for capping and de-capping 96 format screw caps for low-to-mid throughput environments, with easily interchangeable cartridges to switch between tube types. The 8-channel hand-held capper and de-capper offers consistent sealing at an affordable price.
The innovative interchangeable cartridge system is an easy to use solution for users with multiple tube types from various manufacturers. Simply switch between cartridges by aligning the cap drivers with the cartridge, then snapping into place. With compatibility for Azenta internal and external screw capped tubes we are continuously developing new cartridges, including one for Azenta Acoustic tubes.
