Hamilton Storage Technologies Inc. 193601 LABELITE I.D. CAPPER
Automated screw cap decapper and 2-D barcode tube reader
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.
The I.D. Capper includes all the new features and benefits standard to the other LabElite devices including:
Flexible Automated Tube Decapping and Barcode Reading
• Easily swap decapping heads to decap tubes in both 48-cryovial and 96-microtube racks on a single device (patent pending)
• Process a full rack of tubes or row of tubes in portrait or landscape format within one device (patent pending)
• Can be operated as an integrated and standalone device simultaneously
• Optional 1-D barcode reading for racks
• Multiple tube heights can be read within the same rack
• Compatible with SiLA (Standard in Laboratory Automation)• Highly-configurable output options for smooth integration into LIMS or databases
Sample Security
• New secure processing mode provides sample security by minimizing the time a tube is opened-only one row is processed at a time by holding caps after decapping and then immediately recapping
• Point-of-use decapping-limit risk of exposure or contamination from environment
• Eliminates risk of cross contamination by not moving over opened tubes
Ease-of-Use
• Touchscreen panel provides easy navigation through the system
• New 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
• Barcode reader processes a 96-microtube rack in less than 3 seconds, and a 384-tube rack in 5 seconds
• Cutting-edge decoding technology allows for robust and secure identification of even challenging codes
