Rondo Tube Decappers simplify cryogenic sample handling with solutions for both automated rack decapping and manual multi-channel tube capping and decapping. Designed for laboratories and biobanks with different throughput requirements, the Rondo family reduces repetitive manual operations, improves workflow efficiency, and ensures reliable handling of SBS-format cryotubes during routine sample processing.
Rack & Multi-Channel Decapping
Rondo includes full-rack, 9-channel, and 6-channel models to support different sample volumes and workflows. Options are available for standard and high-density SBS racks, covering 48/96/126-tube formats.
Fast Tube Capping & Decapping
Rondo processes multiple tubes in a single capping or decapping operation, accelerating routine sample preparation. Dedicated configurations for different tube and rack formats ensure efficient handling without repeated manual adjustment.
Ergonomic Operation
An angled touchscreen provides comfortable viewing and control during daily operation. The transparent front enclosure gives operators a clear view of the working area, making process observation and equipment checks easier
High-Throughput Workflow
Full-rack and multi-channel processing reduce the time required to handle large sample batches. The optional cap holder collects removed caps in groups, supporting faster downstream processing and higher operational throughput.
Reduced Manual Handling
Automated tube capping and decapping reduce repetitive manual tasks and direct contact with individual tubes. Rondo can also connect to mechanical grippers and LIMS-controlled automation workflows for more integrated handling
Reliable Sample Processing
Model-specific configurations support Sinfo, Corning, and FluidX 2D cryotubes across compatible SBS rack formats. Direct rack compatibility without additional adapters helps maintain stable, repeatable processing across routine laboratory workflows.
