Personal Cappers and Decappers (HS3000 Series and assorted attachments)

For screw-cap containers (Cryotubes, Microcentrifuge Tubes, Sample and Reagent Tubes), simple but ergonomic tools (HS3000 series) are available to meet your cap opening and closing needs. These units consist of a battery operated and hand-held driver equipped with appropriate attachments, and a container holder. Make decappng and recapping screw caps a one hand task. Saves wear and tear on your fingers and thumbs!

• Multi Snap-Cap Opener and Closer

Multi Snap-Cap Containers (Sample and Microcentrifuge Tubes, HS3010)

This new tool (upper pictures) helps you avoid the struggle with small, tight caps and allows you to quickly and easily open your eight microcentrifuge tubes at once. Never use your finger tips or nails again. Additional tools (lower pictures) for easy and effective closing of either 8 (HS3020) or 16 (HS3030) tubes concurrently are also available. The tight seal reduces the risk of contamination and condensation.

Make Decapping and Recapping Large Container Screw Caps a One-Handed Task

• Semi-Automated Decappers and Recappers

Semi-Automated Decappers/Recappers (HS3050)

This unit is designed as a tool to increase productivity while relieving the discomfort and fatigue associated with repetitive decapping/recapping operations. It is inexpensive, easy to use and compact enough to fit inside a fume hood - the perfect solution for laboratories that open and close threaded neck vials, cell culture flasks and media bottles (see 2 images below). The unit unscrews a cap, holds it while the container is being processed, and then recaps the container, thus eliminating both the risk of contamination and the need for using both hands to accomplish the task. By switching to a different attachment, it can either decap or cap containers in a continuous way thus enhancing sample throughput while gaining ergonomics.
