Thermo Scientific Decapper 500 and 550 series tube capping systems

For researchers seeking to streamline their sample storage processes, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Hamilton Storage have partnered to offer the fully automated Thermo Scientific Decapper 500 and 550 series tube capping systems. The system allows users to cap and decap both Thermo Scientific Matrix and Nunc automation tubes without owning multiple pieces of equipment.

Historically, users have stored biological samples in multiple tube types, requiring them to buy multiple decappers. The decapper system does the work of multiple systems and features Quick Switch technology that seamlessly transitions between different tube and rack types.

The systems are suitable for use in medium- to high-throughput biotech, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories doing compound storage, high-throughput screening, biobanking and genomic storage. Additional functionality is provided through a built-in barcode reader and the decappers can also cap and decap partial racks of tubes.
