About AlteCap™ Swift
Highly engineered with advanced design
Individual motors apply the same torque to provide excellent seal quality. The cap drivers and customised racks are designed to allow decapping and capping of non-automation friendly screw caps providing ultimate flexibility.
Fast screw cap handling
Flexible and versatile functionality
Easily switch between different manufacturer’s tube and cap types. Compatible with cap carriers for efficient capping of tubes. Caps can also be discarded to a waste vessel.
Models available for 24, 48 and 96 SBS format racks.
LED lights
Lights will shine and change throughout the decapping or capping cycle, so you can easily visualize what step of the process is occurring from anywhere in the lab.
Sample safety and small footprint
Cap driver cassettes
Easily switch between different manufacturer’s tube and cap types.
Years of specialised experience
Designed by our expert engineering team, their wealth of knowledge ensures that the AlteCap™ Swift is the perfect solution for end user and integration applications.
Customisation
Our team of engineers have developed racks for non-automation friendly tubes providing you the opportunity to automatically decap what was once a non-automation friendly screw cap tube.
