The FluidX Xdc-96 decapper eliminates the need to manually remove the caps from a wide variety of 0.5ml, 0.75ml and 1.4ml septum sealed tubes, improving productivity and increasing the choice of liquid handling systems by eliminating the need for septum piercing.

The Xdc-96 can also dispose of the caps or recap the same caps back into the same tubes, eliminating the need to manually re cap after the tubes have been sampled.  A purge option is available for added sample protection.

• Decapper/recapper for 96 format microtubes
• Compatible with tubes and capping systems from Matrix Technologies™, Micronic™, Abgene™ and FluidX™
• Less than 25 second cycle time
• Can be used in manual or automated mode
• RS232 control, easily integrated into automation systems
• Requires only a mains power source for operation

The purge module enables the decapped tubes to have an inert gas "layered" over the sample immediately after decapping and immediately prior to recapping. This technique provides protection to sensitive samples from the action of humidity and oxygen while uncapped.

Purging immediately prior to recapping ensures that the sample is stored long term in a dry inert atmosphere.

The FluidX Xdc-96 decapper is fully compatible with Overlord3 scheduling software.  This enables the Xdc-96 to be incorporated in an automated work cell with robotics, fluid handling etc. 

Use the FluidX Xdc-96 decapper with the automate.it scara robot as part ofa complete automated workcell.

Overlord3's extensive driver library enables over 300 different instruments to be integrated into a work cell including; robots, plate readers, incubators, storage systems, barcode readers and printers, shakers, tube labelers and liquid dispensers.

Users of POLARA, EVOware and SAMI automation software can access the full Overlord3 driver library by the using Overlord3 SocketSet.  Thus avoiding the need for costly driver development. The FluidX xdc-96 driver is available for use on your system.
