Quick Switch Technology

  • Cap and decap Matrix and Nunc caps, in either 96- or 48-format racks, with same instrument by swapping cap adaptors in the head of the unit, eliminating the need of another decapper
  • Adaptor changing is a quick manual manipulation and no extra hardware needed

Modular Industrial Design

  • Turntable easily enables any rack orientation for pipetting or robotic access
  • No spacers necessary for varying heights between Matrix and Nunc racks and tubes
  • Row Loop Mode special setting designed to enable manual hand-pipetting into decapping process.
  • Safe Mode enables optimal threading during capping, so threads do not cross thread and lead to unsecure capping
  • Decapping head is easily removed for maintenance and service

Touchscreen User Interface

  • Graphical user interface speeds learning and is intuitive across all user types
  • Program directly on the touchscreen, no PC necessary to program decapping
  • Flexible positioning of screen for workflow adaptation

Remote Diagnostics and Easy Servicing

  • Instrument data can be exported for remote technical support troubleshooting
  • Removable head can be serviced or exchanged without shipping whole unit back or bringing field service
