Product description

The Hamilton LabElite Capper DeCapper is an automated laboratory instrument designed for high-throughput, precise capping and decapping of cryovials and tubes, optimized for integration into lab automation workflows. Featuring a 48-format, 8-channel head unit, this device supports vial volumes ranging from 1.5 mL to 4 mL, including FluidX and Micronic formats, making it widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Tube rack format: Configured for 48 vial rack setups
  • Supported labware: 1.5 mL to 4 mL cryovials from FluidX, FluidX OEM (FCR), LVL, and Micronic
  • Cycle speed: Approximately 8 seconds per rack or 20-40 seconds per row, adaptable by tube type
  • Throughput: Up to 12 racks per run, enabling efficient bioprocessing and sample preparation
  • Grip strength: Adjustable torque settings accommodate diverse cap types and ensure secure, consistent capping
  • Control interface: Touchscreen operation or PC-based software (version 2.0.0) with customizable protocols for adaptable automation workflows
  • Dimensions: 60 x 38 x 44 cm (23.6 x 15.0 x 17.3 in) suitable for benchtop placement in clinical or research laboratories
  • Integration capability: Seamlessly interfaces with liquid handling robotics and automated systems critical in gene editing and synthetic biology pipelines

The LabElite Capper DeCapper reduces manual handling errors and contamination risks, critical in biobanking, molecular cloning workflows, and clinical diagnostic applications. Its consistent torque and secure cap placement ensure sample integrity, making it essential for genomics, proteomics, and biopharmaceutical production processes.

This unit is fully serviced with documented quality assurance including power and sensor tests, software stability verification, and orientation flexibility (landscape and portrait capping/de-capping). It comes with key accessories such as cap adapters and holder blocks. Consumables like tubes and caps are not included.

Ideal for biotechnology labs seeking to streamline automated sample preparation, this instrument supports workflows that demand precision and reliability. The LabElite's proven design enhances productivity in high-throughput sample processing for research fields including synthetic biology, molecular diagnostics, and drug discovery.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
