Fully Automated Capping Systems

The Thermo Scientific Decapper 500 and 550 series tube capping systems are fully automated capping systems for use in medium- to high-throughput biotech, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories doing compound storage, high-throughput screening, biobanking, and genomic storage.

The Thermo Scientific Decapper 500 and 550 series tube capping systems from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Hamilton Storage are fully automated capping systems for use in medium- to high-throughput biotech, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories doing compound storage, high-throughput screening, biobanking, and genomic storage. The systems allow users to cap and decap both Thermo Scientific Matrix and Nunc automation tubes without multiple pieces of equipment. The new decapper system features Quick Switch technology that allows users to transition between different tube and rack types. The systems can also cap and decap partial racks of tubes. The Decapper 550 provides additional functionality with its built-in barcode reader.
