Tube Filling

Easy Test Tube Filling

With the IQ-TRX and IQ-mTRX test tube filling machines all standard tube sizes can be filled on a single machine. Simple change parts allow filling of several different varieties of test tubes on one machine.

Our standard TRX machine fills more than 2,500 tubes per hour with automatic feeding of tubes and caps. Cap torquing is inline and the finished product is ready to be labeled or printed before packaging. The lower cost mTRX test tube filling machine uses operator assistance or an optional vibratory bowl for loading the cap chute after filling the product with media, then torques the cap to ensure a finished product. All TRX tube filling systems have the option of a gas pre-flush and automatic loading of racks for sterilization. Cap torque settings are fully adjustable and can be easily adapted to any cap.
