Latest Patents
Cruz’s patent, “Decapping of Screw Cap Test Tubes,” describes a decapping system and methods for removing screw caps from test tubes. In one embodiment, a rack holder keeps a test tube rack stationary while the tubes are aligned in a row. A row clamp uses two jaw members to apply force to opposing sides of the tubes. A rotating bit then successively contacts each screw cap and spins it in the loosening direction. This approach is designed to support orderly, automated decapping.
Career Highlights
Cruz’s listed invention focuses on laboratory automation and the handling of test tubes. By combining a stationary rack holder, a row clamp, and a rotating decapper tool, the disclosed method provides a structured process for loosening multiple caps in sequence.
Collaborations
Cruz is associated with Helix, Inc. His listed coworkers include David Wong and Stinson Lamb.
Conclusion
Anthuan Cruz’s patent describes a coordinated method for decapping screw-cap test tubes, bringing together tube stabilization, clamping, and sequential cap loosening.
