DeCapper (Hamilton LabElite)

The LabElite DeCapper (Hamilton) is an automated screw-cap decapper for sample tubes. Supports a range of tube formats and cap types — including SBS-format racks of cryotubes commonly used in biobanking workflows.

  • Decap rack — remove caps from a rack of tubes in one pass
  • Recap rack — reapply caps from the parking position
  • Single tube decap / recap — by rack position
  • Status query — rack occupancy, error state

Revolution drives the LabElite through Hamilton’s Venus protocol — the same runtime used for the Microlab family. Cap-park positions are managed by the device and reported back so Revolution’s Storage Manager always knows which tubes are open.
