VCMS

Pre-treatment system for automated decapping & recapping VCMS is a dedicated system that simultaneously and automatically opens (de-cap) and closes (re-cap) multiple sample tube caps arranged in a rack.It automates the repetitive task of bulk opening caps before loading into automated systems for extraction or pipetting, and closing them for storage after testing, thereby enhancing operator convenience, safety, and laboratory efficiency.

Ensuring operator safety & convenience from repetitive decapping and recapping tasks

Fast and Efficient Workflow

Opening and closing hundreds or thousands of tube caps by hand every day is a task that requires significant time and effort. VCMS processes all caps in a rack simultaneously with a single operation, significantly reducing pre-treatment time and resolving bottlenecks in the overall workflow.

    Safety and Ergonomic Design

    Automated cap management minimizes the potential for aerosol generation, reducing the operator's exposure to potentially infectious samples. It also fundamentally eliminates the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in the laboratory by removing repetitive motions that strain the wrists and fingers.

      Stable Sample Storage

      Properly closing caps is crucial when storing remaining samples for long periods after testing. VCMS uniformly closes all caps with a constant torque, effectively preventing sample evaporation or exposure to external contamination during storage.

        Integration with Seegene Automation Systems

        VCMS is flexibly utilized within Seegene’s fully automated workflow. It maximizes automation efficiency by perfectly supporting the process of bulk decapping before loading racks into systems like Seegene STARlet and recapping them for storage after the run.
