Coach’s Notes: “This newest innovation from Hamilton provides the market with the first product where the user has the ability to positively identify the tube chosen for decapping/recapping and track it throughout the workflow,” says Peter Hoffmann, project leader storage technologies, Hamilton Bonaduz AG.
Scout’s Notes: The LabElite I.D. Capper enables labs to combine decapping/recapping and high-speed barcode reading within one device without additional user interaction. When sample tracking is not required, the LabElite DeCapper is ready for decapping and recapping tubes in 48-cryovial or 96-microtube racks. A new feature can automatically move the racks from portrait to landscape formats. For labs with manual workflows that need an efficient 2-D barcode reader for tube racks, the LabElite I.D. Reader is ideal able to decode multiple types of labware including 2-D barcoded tubes in all common 12-, 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-tube racks including honeycomb-shaped racks, for complete sample tracking during processing.
