Zusammenfassung: | A capping and decapping device (2) for reversibly removing and mounting of a cap (5) to and from a tube (4) received in a tube seat (32) of a microplate (3) comprises a drum member (22) having a cap stamp (223), and a frame structure (21) supporting the drum member (22) such that the drum member (22) is rotatable about a rotational axis relative to the frame structure (21 ). The capping and decapping device (2) is configured to rotate the drum member (22) in a first rotational direction (62) when the microplate (3) receiving the tube (4) is moved relative to the frame along a predefined path (25) in a first path direction (61), and to rotate the drum member (22) in a second rotational direction (64) when the microplate (3) receiving the tube (4) is moved relative to the frame along the predefined path (25) in a second path direction (63). The first rotational direction (62) is opposite to the second rotational direction (64) and the first path direction (61 ) is opposite to the second path direction (63). The cap stamp (223) is configured to remove the cap (5) from the tube (4) when the microplate (3) receiving the tube (4) is moved in the first path direction (61 ). The cap stamp (223) is configured to connect the cap (5) to the tube (4) when the microplate (3) receiving the tube (4) is moved in the second path direction (63).
L'invention concerne un dispositif de capsulage et de décapsulage (2) permettant de monter et de retirer de manière réversible un capuchon (5) sur et d'un tube (4) reçu dans un siège de tube (32) d'une micro-plaque (3). Ledit dispositif de capsulage et de décapsulage comprend un élément de tambour (22) ayant un tampon de capuchon (223), et une structure de cadre (21) supportant l'élément de tambour (22) de telle sorte que l'élément de tambour (22) puisse tourner autour d'un axe de rotation par rapport à la structure de cadre (21). Le dispositif de capsulage et de décapsulage (2) est conçu pour faire tourner l'élément de tambour (22) dans une première direction de rotation (62) lorsque la micro-plaque (3) recevant le tube (4) est déplacée par rapport au cadre le long d'un trajet prédéfini (25) dans une première direction de trajet (61), et pour faire tourner l'élément de tambour (22) dans une seconde direction de rotation (64) lorsque la micro-plaque (3) recevant le tube (4) est déplacée par rapport au cadre le long du trajet prédéfini (25) dans une seconde direction de trajet (63). La première direction de rotation (62) est opposée |
