2. Overview
This manual describes the proper use of the machine.
The IntelliXcap is a new generation of sample-tube de-/re-capper, which is comprised of a basic
chassis assembly and a screwing-head module. This includes interchangeable cap-driver
cartridges that allow the user to change the tube type to de-capped without the need for tools.
The IntelliXcapis equipped with a light curtain which reduces the risk of damage to tubes, samples
and the instrument that could be caused by failed de-capping / capping or the use of incorrect
consumables. The IntelliXcap can be controlled manually or can be integrated into an automated
robotic system using a serial command set. The IntelliXcap can work with a range of tube types –
a specific cartridge is required for each different cap design format. The current list of available
cartridges can be seen in
or contact your local sales representative to
request a cartridge for your specific storage tube.
