New movie test kit automation: Capping/De-capping
Skalar has an extensive selection of (de-)capping devices for integration across its SP2000 robotic platforms, allowing the capping and de-capping of the huge variety of different types of vials, tubes, bottles, containers used in laboratories worldwide. For the automation of test kits, Skalar has now developed a new technique for tests with caps containing reagents inside.
How does it work?
- The robot takes the cap of the test kit tube, flips the cap and punctures the foil of the cap.
- The cap is again placed on the tube
- The tube is transferred to a shaker to dissolve the reagents from the cap and analysis can proceed
Take a look at the full movie of capping/de-capping with caps containing reagents inside:
