XQ MCD-13 Capping and De-capping Machine for Microtubes

XQ Instruments MCD-13 Capping and De-capping Machine for Microtubes

The XQ Instruments MCD-13 Microcapper helps attaching screw caps on microtubes. It improves occupational health & safety and process integrity. Has a capping/de-capping rate of 10-15 caps/minute.

The microcapper can be adjusted to a wide range of screw cap sizes with diameters of 12 mm - 24mm. In adjusting the capping wheels are moved laterally to come closer together or further apart by rotating one lead screw which actuates both sides.

The microcapper MCD-13 can be cutsomised for different container sizes and applications.

The height of the machine can be changed by replacing the vertical
structure below the capping mechanism with parts of different size. The
tube holder slider can be replaced with bottle holders of verious configurations
and sizes.

Please contact us for special configurations. We can explore the most suitable configuration with you based on your processes and particular requirements.

• Consistency
  Manual screw capping introduces variation in the torque applied to tighten the caps. Consistent torque provided by our Microcappers prevents leakage of tubes, especially during transportation.
• Health & Safety
  XQ screw capping machines alleviate operator fatigue and reduce possibility of occupational health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome which frequently occur in manual lab capping.

Consistent tightening of the caps is ensured to prevent leakage during transportation. The MCD-13 reduces operator’s hand fatigue. It is known that hazards such as carpal tunnel syndrome can result from the repetitive strain of manually tightening screw caps, making mechanical capping important.

Designed for capping of screw caps on 13mm tubes typically used in laboratories for the preparation and processing of samples and reagents, the MCD-13 works for various cap, vial and tube sizes. The bench top device is compact, a footprint of less than half an A4 paper, and portable.

The product is user friendly and can be operated with minimum training. Caps are manually placed on each tube, before loading onto holder and pushing in for capping. A de-capping function is also provided.
