  • Seal the Deal with Fully Automated Capping. We’re excited to present an advanced laboratory automation pairing: The KX2 Robot + AFYS3G Sigma-series = a scalable, robotic recapping solution optimised for screw-cap SBS-format tube racks. What’s inside this combined solution? KX2 Collaborative Robot ✅ 360° continuous rotation on shoulder and wrist axes for optimal reach and flexibility ✅ Sealed, wipe-clean design suitable for Biosafety Level 2 applications ✅ Flexible labware handling, accommodating plates, tubes, flasks, and more ✅ Integrated barcode scanning for efficient sample tracking AFYS3G Sigma-series Recapper ✅ Caps, decaps, or recaps an entire 96-, 48- or 24‑well rack in <30 seconds ✅ Generates precise torque-controlled sealing to preserve sample integrity and minimise evaporation ✅ Compatible across major brands for flexible workflow support ✅ Intuitive touchscreen interface and accessible design for simple maintenance Why it matters: By combining robotic plate handling with Sigma’s rapid recapping, labs gain modular flexibility for labs using multiple rack formats or cap types. Ideal for biobanking, compound storage, assay prep, and high-throughput screening environments, this integration eliminates one of the most repetitive manual steps in sample processing.
