Product catalog summary
Overview: The Microcapper MCF-13 is a patented device designed to automate the attachment of screw caps on micro-tubes, enhancing laboratory productivity, safety, and process integrity. It ensures consistent cap tightening to prevent leakage during transportation and reduces operator fatigue associated with manual capping.
Specifications: The device is compact, with dimensions of 220mm x 365mm x 490mm and a weight of 8.8 kg. It operates with a capping torque adjustable between 12 to 25 Ncm and supports a micro-tube cap size of 13x6 mm, with other sizes available upon request. The noise level is maintained below 70 dB at 1 meter, and it offers a power supply option of 115V or 230V AC with a maximum power rating of 250W.
Features: Key features include an automatic cap feeder, a cap counter, and a simple ON/OFF power switch. The device enters standby mode when idle and displays the number of tubes capped, which can be reset. It requires minimal maintenance and can cap approximately 20 caps per minute, with a capping speed of about 3 seconds, depending on operator skill.
Operation: The workflow involves inserting tubes into a holder, pushing them to the capping position, and lowering them with the attached cap. Caps are automatically fed from a feeder as needed, ensuring a continuous capping process.
Benefits: The MCF-13 is user-friendly, requiring minimal training, and is customizable for various cap, vial, and tube sizes. It significantly reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, making it a valuable tool for laboratory environments.

Microcapper MCF-13 01 The patented Microcapper MCF-13 automates the attaching of screw caps on micro-tubes. It increases lab productivity, occupational health & safety and process integrity. Consistent tightening of the caps is ensured 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 even semi-automated mechanical capping important. Designed for capping of crew caps on micro-tubes typically used in laboratories for the preparation and processing of samples and reagents, the MCF-13 can be customised for various cap, vial and tube sizes. The bench top device is compact, a footprint of less than half A4, and portable. The product is user friendly and can be operated with minimum training. Caps for the micro-tubes are poured into a feeder. Capping is done by inserting a micro-tube into tube-holder, and pushing it up to capping position and lowering again with attached cap. Workflow Tubes are inserted in a holder and pushed up to capping position with tube holder. Capping torque adjustable to requirements between 12 to 25 Ncm. Caps are poured into an auto-feeder at the top of the machine. As the caps are consumed, the auto-feeder will top up caps to the capping station automatically. Operated simply by an ON/OFF power switch. Stand-by mode when idling. Counter displays number of tubes capped, resettable.
