Tube Capping and Decapping Equipment

Efficient and consistent tube capping and decapping are essential for laboratories handling large numbers of samples. Manual tube handling can be time-consuming and repetitive, while inconsistent sealing can affect sample integrity. Our range of tube capping and decapping equipment helps laboratories improve throughput, reduce manual handling, and achieve reliable, repeatable results.
From manual tools to fully automated systems, our solutions include screw cap cappers, screw cap recappers, push cap cappers, tube decappers, and automated capping systems for a wide range of laboratory workflows.

 

Solutions for Every Workflow

Our tube capping and decapping equipment is available in manual, semi-automated, and fully automated configurations, allowing you to select a solution based on your sample volume and required throughput.

Screw Cap Cappers and Recappers

Our screw cap recappers provide fast, consistent capping, decapping, and recapping of sample storage tubes. Solutions are available for 24-, 48-, and 96-format racks, with options for internal and external thread tubes.
 
The CS100 provides precise torque-controlled manual capping, while the CS500 can process a row of tubes in less than five seconds. For higher-throughput workflows, the CS700 and Sigma Recapper can process an entire rack in less than 30 seconds.

Push Cap Capping and Decapping

For laboratories using push cap tubes, our range includes both manual and automated solutions. The CP400 can cap up to 96 tubes at once, while the CP600/CP610 can automatically cap a 96-format rack in approximately seven seconds. The CP620 provides automated push cap decapping for high-throughput workflows.
 
Manual push cap decappers are also available for quickly removing individual caps, rows of caps, or caps from frozen samples.

Automated Tube Capping

For laboratories looking to automate repetitive tube handling, systems such as the Scinomix RapidCAP2 and AFYS3G Sigma STR provide automated capping and decapping with fast cycle times and compatibility with multiple tube brands. Selected systems can also be integrated into wider laboratory automation workflows.

Benefits of Tube Capping Automation

Automating tube capping and decapping can help laboratories:

  • Increase throughput by processing tubes and racks in seconds.
  • Improve consistency with controlled torque and pressure.
  • Protect sample integrity by providing reliable and repeatable sealing.
  • Reduce manual handling and repetitive laboratory tasks.
  • Improve workflow efficiency across sample storage and processing.
  • Integrate with automation for streamlined, high-throughput workflows.

 

Find the Right Capping Solution

Whether you need a manual tool for individual tubes or a fully automated system for high-throughput sample processing, our range of tube capping and decapping equipment offers solutions for different tube formats, cap types, rack sizes, and laboratory workflows.
