Azenta launches innovative decapper/recapper for large-format tubes

Azenta Life Sciences has introduced the IntelliXcap™ S1, a versatile single tube decapper/recapper designed to simplify handling of large-format tubes (11-40mm) in laboratory settings. This adaptable system eliminates manual adjustments typically required when working with different tube types, offering significant workflow improvements for both low and high-throughput laboratories.

Ergonomic design reduces injury risk

The IntelliXcap S1 features an ergonomic, one-handed design specifically engineered to minimize repetitive strain injuries during daily laboratory operations. Its automated system applies consistent torque to each cap, ensuring reliable sealing that manual methods cannot match.

Compact footprint suits limited spaces

“The small footprint of the device allows it to easily operate within safety cabinets and on space limited work benches,” notes Azenta. This space-efficient design makes the system particularly valuable for laboratories with restricted workspace availability.

Productivity benefits for manual operations

For laboratories currently performing manual decapping and recapping of large-format tubes, the IntelliXcap S1 offers substantial improvements in processing speed and throughput while simultaneously enhancing sample integrity. The system accommodates centrifuge, cell culture, and glass sample tubes without requiring cap gripper changes.

Azenta emphasizes that the system provides “exceptional value for labs looking to improve productivity while maintaining the integrity of their valuable samples,” with “an excellent cost to value ratio” for facilities seeking workflow enhancements.
