A handheld 8-tube screw cap tube capper/decapper. Securely seal or unscrew an 8-cap row in just 10 seconds, or an entire rack of 96 tubes in 2 minutes.
8-Channel Handheld Capper/Decapper – Saving you Time and Effort
The 8-Channel Handheld Capper/Decapper is a versatile tool designed to increase throughput and save you time and effort. Capable of consistently capping and de-capping multiple tubes simultaneously, this innovative device ensures smooth and efficient lab operations. Its lightweight, ergonomic design reduces operator strain and seamlessly transitions from manual to automated systems, making it an indispensable addition to any laboratory.
Speed and Efficiency
With the ability to securely seal an 8-cap row in just 10 seconds or an entire rack of 96 tubes in 2 minutes, the 8-Channel Handheld Capper/Decapper significantly enhances manual processing throughput. The device guarantees consistent sealing across each tube. Its automatic column-type cap removal and capping performance streamline workflows, ensuring quick and reliable operation. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries for lab personnel.
Ergonomic and Portable
Designed with user comfort in mind, the 8-Channel Handheld Capper/Decapper is lightweight and ergonomically crafted for effortless screw cap processing. It’s neat, compact design and low-force, dual-button cap ejection system makes it ideal for various laboratory environments. Its included storage stand ensures secure and convenient storage and when not in use.
Convenient Charging and Compatibility
The tool features magnetic contact charging, offering long battery life and fast charging times. Ready to use whenever you are, it efficiently caps, de-caps, or recaps tubes by column or row. Interchangeable cap driver cassettes allow for easy processing of different screw cap tube types and SBS rack formats.

African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a widespread disease which infects members of the pig family(Suidae). Anumberoftick species are believed to be the vector for the disease,as well as being transmitted by raw pork and pig excrement [1]. After firstly being identified in Kenya in 1921, ASFV became endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, with regular outbreaks being reported across Europe, Asia and South America throughout the century [2]. More recently the virus was introduced in Georgia and spread throughout the region, as well as mass outbreaks occurring in China in 2018 [3].
ASFVistheonlymemberoftheAsfaridaefamily.ItisalargeenvelopeddoublestrandedDNA virus of icosahedral morphology with an average diameter of 200nm and isolates contain genomes between 170-190Kbp encoding for up to 167 open reading frames [2]. The morphology of ASFV consist of several concentric domains. An inner core contains the nucleoid coated with a thick protein layered core shell, which is surrounded by an inner lipid envelope , all of which is encompassed by the capsid [2]. ASFV begins its replication cycle in the nucleus of infected cells before moving to the cytoplasm where the majority of the replication takes place [2]. Gene transcription is highly regulated, with distinct classes of mRNA identified to accumulate at early, intermediate and late transcripts of the virus [2]. The disease induces acute haemorrhagic disease within its hosts, causing high fevers and skin haemorrhages, with death often occurring within ten days of clinical symptoms appearing [4].

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.
