The patented Microcapper MCF-13A automates the attaching of screw caps on microtubes. It increases lab productivity, occupational health & safety and process integrity.Consistent tightening of the caps on micro-tubes is ensured to prevent leakage during transportation. The MCF- 13A reduces operator's hand fatigue and relieves the tedious task of hand capping. 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 MCF-13A can be customised for various cap, vial and tube sizes. The bench top device is compact with a footprint of less than half an A4 paper, and portable.The product is user friendly and can be operated with minimal training. Caps for the micro­ tubes are poured into a feeder. Capping is done by inserting a micro-tube into tube-holder, and pushing a button.The Microtube Capper MCF-13A is a compact table-top device, powered from the AC power socket..
