The NEST Handheld 8-Channel Cryotube Capper/Decapper is designed to improve the speed, consistency, and ergonomics of cryogenic sample handling in biobanking, research, and laboratory workflows. The handheld device enables simultaneous capping or uncapping of up to eight compatible cryogenic tubes, helping laboratories process samples more efficiently than individually opening or closing tubes by hand. Designed specifically for NEST 0.5 mL and 1.0 mL internal thread cryogenic tubes arranged in an 8 × 12 freezer box format, the system provides controlled, repeatable mechanical capping and uncapping. Stable torque control helps provide consistent closure while reducing the repetitive hand movements associated with manual tube processing.

The combination of a handheld capper and dedicated base provides flexibility for medium- to high-throughput sample management applications. The device is particularly well suited for biobanks, sample repositories, clinical research laboratories, pharmaceutical research, and other facilities where large numbers of cryogenic samples must be stored, retrieved, and processed. By allowing an entire row of eight tubes to be handled at the same time, the system can help reduce processing time, minimize operator hand fatigue, and reduce unnecessary handling of individual cryogenic tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NEST 8-Channel Cryotube Capper/Decapper used for?

The NEST 8-Channel Cryotube Capper/Decapper is designed to simultaneously cap or uncap up to eight compatible cryogenic tubes. It helps improve efficiency and consistency when processing cryogenic samples in biobanking, sample storage, and laboratory workflows.

Which cryogenic tubes are compatible with Cat. No. 106008?

The 106008 capper/decapper is designed for NEST 0.5 mL and 1.0 mL internal thread cryogenic tubes, including Cat. Nos. 612531 and 612731.

Does the 106008 work with external thread cryogenic tubes?

No. Cat. No. 106008 is designed for compatible internal thread cryogenic tubes. For compatible 2.0 mL and 4.0 mL external thread tubes, NEST offers the 106009 6-channel cryotube capper/decapper.

How many cryogenic tubes can be capped or uncapped at one time?

The device has an 8-channel configuration, allowing up to eight compatible cryogenic tubes to be capped or uncapped simultaneously.

What freezer box format is compatible with the 8-channel capper/decapper?

The 106008 is designed for compatible tubes arranged in an 8 × 12 freezer box configuration.

What are the benefits of using a multi-channel cryotube capper/decapper?

Processing eight tubes simultaneously can reduce the time required for repetitive sample handling. The mechanical capping process also helps provide more consistent closure while reducing repetitive hand movements and operator fatigue compared with manually opening and closing individual tubes.

Does the device provide controlled capping torque?

Yes. According to the NEST product data sheet, the device provides stable torque control to support standardized and reproducible mechanical capping.

Is the NEST 106008 fully automated?

No. The 106008 is a handheld, assisted capping and uncapping device. It is intended to increase throughput while retaining the flexibility and control of manual sample-processing workflows.

What types of laboratories can use the 8-channel cryotube capper/decapper?

The device is suitable for biobanks, sample repositories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories, clinical research facilities, and other laboratories that routinely store, retrieve, or process multiple cryogenic samples.

What are the power requirements?

The device accepts a 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz power input. The specified power output is 10.0 V DC, 1.0 A constant voltage.

How much does the device weigh?

The complete device weighs approximately 796 g. The handheld capper weighs approximately 389 g, and the base weighs approximately 407 g.

What are the dimensions of the device?

The overall dimensions are approximately 210 × 120 × 295 mm (L × W × H). The handheld capper measures approximately 100 × 40 × 260 mm, and the base measures approximately 210 × 120 × 130 mm.

How should the capper/decapper be cleaned or disinfected?

The NEST data sheet specifies wiping with alcohol as the disinfection method. Users should follow applicable laboratory procedures and product instructions when cleaning the device.

Does the capper/decapper come with a base?

Yes. The specifications identify both a handheld capper and base as components of the device.

What is the difference between the NEST 106008 and 106009 models?

The 106008 is an 8-channel device designed for compatible 0.5 mL and 1.0 mL internal thread tubes in an 8 × 12 configuration. The 106009 is a 6-channel device designed for compatible 2.0 mL and 4.0 mL external thread tubes in a 6 × 8 configuration.
