AlteCap Swift Automated Decapper System

Procurement Summary

An automated decapper system to remove caps from cryovial specimens for analysis at high speeds and volumes while maintaining the highest standards for sample integrity in a research laboratory. The AlteCap Swift Automated Decapper System is a laboratoryautomation system designed for high-throughput decapping of 2D barcoded cryovials in Societyfor Biomolecular Screening (SBS) rack formats. The system employs individual motorized torqueapplication mechanisms to process racks of tubes and is capable of handling 96 tubes in under 35seconds. The platform incorporates precision mechanics and optical detection technology forconsistent cap removal across varying tube sizes and manufacturers. The system features acompact design and operates through an integrated touch screen interface without requiringadditional software. Its modular architecture includes a drip tray system for contaminationprevention and interchangeable cassettes to accommodate different tube and cap configurations.This allows convenient upgrade of the instrument to accept different tube types with anothercassette without acquiring a full system. Key technical specifications include optical tube heightdetection, automated torque control for precise cap manipulation, and compatibility with multipletube manufacturer formats. The system maintains sample integrity through automated handlingprocesses and contamination prevention features.
