Product description

Automated decapping and capping of 96 screw vials in under 60s, precise 0.1mm positioning, for bioprocessing labs.

The Hamilton DeCapper is a precision-engineered automated system designed for rapid decapping and capping of 96-screw vials, ideal for biotechnology workflows requiring high-throughput sample processing. Compatible with labware from Matrix, Micronic, and Nunc (including volumes from 0.5ml to 1.4ml), this instrument ensures precise handling with X-Y-Z positional accuracy of 0.1mm, critical for maintaining sample integrity in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research.

Key features include:

  • High throughput: processes an entire 96-tube rack in less than 60 seconds (fast mode), enhancing efficiency in biomanufacturing pipelines.
  • Robust sample protection: fully enclosed operational space prevents contamination and user contact with moving parts, supporting sterile environments for gene editing and cell-based assays.
  • User-friendly touchscreen interface: programmable control over rack rows allows tailored decapping sequences, facilitating integration into automated robotic systems or stand-alone use.
  • Cross-contamination minimization: mirrored Cap Holder Rack design prevents caps from crossing over open tubes, essential for reliable molecular cloning workflows.
  • Operational conditions: supports indoor environments at 15°C to 35°C, 30%-85% relative humidity, and altitudes up to 2000m, suitable for diverse laboratory setups.

With a compact footprint (12"x27"x15") and weighing 52 lbs, the DeCapper offers versatility for lab automation in clinical diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biomedical engineering applications. Power requirements range from 100-240V, 50/60Hz, accommodating international lab standards. This device is a critical component for labs aiming to optimize sample handling efficiency and maintain contamination control in high-throughput biotechnology research.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
