Tube Scanner

Cube Rack Reader with new DP5 Standard Software

The Cube can read all racks on the market including Cryoboxes and SBS racks; even 384 racks!

DP5 is the latest version of Ziath's market leading 2D rack decoding software. Using the latest technologies DP5 can be run from a laptop, desktop, phone, tablet or any other network connected device. The same robustness, reliability and speed are there but now you can work unchained from your lab bench.

- Smallest 'scan all' scanner on the market

- Camera based instrument resulting in rapid imaging and decoding

- Footprint ideal for benchtop and integration

KEY FEATURES

- The most compact camera based SBS 2D rack scanner available

- Low profile allows use on robotic integrations for liquid handling systems

- Innovative and unique scanning technology (patent pending)

- Scans all current, commonly used, SBS format racks

- Scans acoustic tube racks in seconds (i.e. AcoustiX)

EASY TO SET-UP AND EASY TO USE

The DP5 Mirage 2D scanner offers easy, out-of-the-box set up and is delivered pre-calibrated and ready to scan.This instrument can scan all commonly used racks in the SBS format, and its low profile means that it can be easily added into liquid handling platforms and other automation systems.The low profile and economic price makes the Mirage the perfect replacement for a traditional flat bed scanner.

DATAPAQ / DP5 - READER SOFTWARE

The software is designed and written in-house at Ziath. Decoding 2D barcodes is achieved using our own algorithm which we specifically developed for ‘tube sized’ codes It is not a global, generic "off-the-shelf" algorithm that was designed to read a barcode in a supermarket. DataPaq™ / DP5 displays the results of the scan and can identify the difference between a correctly scanned tube (green), a damaged tube (red) and missing tube (grey). Also, any tube image can be clicked on and the individual scan is shown (on the right hand side) with the tube location and barcode.

The Ziath Linear Rack Scanner Version 2 is for use with the DataPaq™ Express, Deep Focus, High Speed and Multi-Rack Scanners. It is simply attached to the scanner using a bracket with a magnetic place holder. No assembly of the linear scanner is required.

KEY FEATURES

• Use with Ziath DataPaq™ 2D barcode rack scanners
• Very quick and easy to install. No assembly required
• Scans in milliseconds
• Wide range of placement options
• Quick & easy installation, no dongles required
• Essential tool for sample tracking
• USB connection
• Attaches to the rack scanner using bracket with magnetic place holder
• Compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista & XP

EASY TO SET-UP AND EASY TO USE

The DataPaq™ Linear Rack Barcode Scanner is very simple to attach to existing 2D scanners, and offers easy installation.

It can be attached to any side of the DataPaq™ scanners using a bracket with a magnetic pad.

Our DataPaq™ software makes it simple to export the linear (rack) barcode data and the tube data to Excel, XML, JSON or text and scanned images can also be saved.

The linear rack scan takes less than one second and the scanner is powered and controlled by USB cable, so needs no additional power cables.

The Ziath DataPaq™ Express Rack Reader is a 2D datamatrix tube camera reader with an image capture time of only one second. DataPaq™ Express is marginally larger than the SBS rack itself, making it ideal for robotic integration.

Compatible with all 2D barcoded tube racks in SBS format, the DataPaq™ Express is the smallest rack scanner currently available. Its camera based instrument delivers rapid imaging and decoding.

KEY FEATURES

• Scan all makes of 2D barcoded tubes
• Export data to Excel, Text, XML, JSON and Database
• Essential tool for sample tracking
• Compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista & XP
• Simple to install

EASY TO SET-UP AND EASY TO USE

The DataPaq™ Express Rack Reader is easy to set-up, and can be ready to use only a few minutes after taking it out of the box.

The rack reader arrives fully calibrated and is ready to read all makes of SBS format 2D barcoded racks and tubes.

Our patented DataPaq™ Express is a camera-based instrument and is significantly quicker than scanner-based 2D barcode readers: just one second and you can load the next rack!

Our DataPaq™ software makes it simple to export data to Excel, XML or text, and scanned images can also be saved. The DataPaq™ software can connect with Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Postgres and other databases.

Cryoprotection™ Option

The formation of condensation on the instrument window whilst scanning tubes straight from cryogenic storage is a well known problem. Ziath's Cryoprotection™ is a special coating that eliminates the condensation and ensures uninterrupted scanning. Ziath's method for eliminating condensation uses no extra electrical components, resulting in no risk of accidentally thawing your samples, increased reliability and ensuring that the cost of this option is at acceptable levels.
