XQ Instruments MCF-13 Auto Vial Capping Machine for Microtubes/Centrifuge Tubes

The  patented XQ Instruments MCF-13 Microcapper automates the attaching of screw caps on microtubes or vials. It increases lab productivity, occupational health & safety and process integrity.

Has a loader refill capacity of ~250 caps (dependent on cap size), a capping rate of 10-20 caps/minute, and comes equipped with a manual tube lifter that lifts the tube that is placed into the holder by the user to be capped. 

  • Consistency
    Manual 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
    Our Microcappers alleviate operator fatigue and reduce possibility of occupational health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Increased lab productivity
    Our Microcappers increase production output by increasing capping count, as compared to manual capping.

Consistent torque is applied to the capping of these vials to prevent leakage during transportation. The MCF-13 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 vial capping important.

Designed for hands-free capping on 13mm microtubes typically used in laboratories for the preparation and processing of samples and reagents, the MCF-13 can be customized for various cap, vial and microtube sizes. The bench top device is compact, lightweight making it portable with a footprint of less than half an A4 paper.

The product is user friendly and can be operated with minimal training. Caps for the microtubes or vials are poured into a feeder. Capping is done by inserting a microtube into the tube-holder and pushing a button.

The Microtube Capper MCF-13 is a compact table-top device, powered from the AC power socket and serves as an integral part of any capping process with screw caps.
