<p>The present invention relates to a decapping/recapping device (100, 300, 500) for removing closures (11) from sample tubes (12) and for reclosing the same tubes (12) with the same respective closures (11), said device comprising a plurality of individual closure holders (20), each comprising a passive closure gripper (21) for holding a closure (11), at least one actuator (40, 340) for actuating said passive closure gripper (21) when removing a closure (11) from a tube or reclosing a tube (12) with its respective closure (11) and at least one tube gripper (50, 350) cooperating with said at least one actuator (40, 340) for biasing a tube (12) and its closure (11) away from each other when removing the closure (11) and for biasing the tube (12) and its closure (11) towards each other when reclosing the tube (12). One actuator (40, 340) is coupled to one passive closure gripper (21) of a closure holder (20) when a closure (11) has to be removed from a tube (12) or when a tube (12) has to be reclosed with its respective closure (11) and is decoupled from a passive closure gripper (21) when the closure holder (20) is holding a closure (11).</p> |
