IntelliXcap™ automated screw cap decapper/recapper 96-format, extended height is specifically designed to work with taller 96-format SBS racked tubes. It's extremely fast and works with multiple sample storage tube types from a range of tube manufacturers in 96-format. Capable of de-capping a complete rack of 96 tubes in as little as 20 seconds.
With the flexibility to work with multiple labware types, the system can decap nasal swabs with integral caps, such as RHINOstic® automated swab. It's ideal for scaling up in swab-based sample workflows where increased throughput requires automation for efficiency and precise handling of samples. The IntelliXcap™ combined with the RHINOstic® automated swab increases throughput while decreasing turnaround times and per-test costs for laboratories using swab sample collection for home kits, multi-analyte respiratory panels, genetic testing, and other types of test kits.
The compact, modular design offers the ultimate flexibility, and features a unique, fully automated, interchangeable cartridge cap driver system. Cartridges allow format change between different tube types in less than two minutes, and the cartridges are available for both internal and external thread screw-cap tubes. Simply by fitting the relevant cartridge, IntelliXcap™ Extended Height 96-format is compatible with all Azenta Life Sciences sample storage tubes, and supports other sample tube ranges available in the market. No need for specialist intervention to change cartridge drivers. The system is controlled via a quick installation, easy-to-use touch panel.
