A compact, versatile, quick and robust scanner with minimal cabling. The Cube Rack Reader is a 2D datamatrix tube camera reader with a scan & decode time of 1-2 seconds.
- Smallest ‘scan all’ scanner on the market
- Footprint ideal for benchtop and integration
- Reads all SBS racks and cryoboxes on the market
- Also reads 384-well racks
- Scans acoustic tube racks in seconds (i.e. AcoustiX)
- Low profile allows use on robotic integrations for liquid handling systems
- Innovative and unique scanning technology (patent pending)
- Integration with DP5 Reader Software
- Software designed and written in-house at Azenta
- Decoding 2D barcodes is achieved using our own algorithm which we specifically developed for ‘tube sized’ codes
- Not a global, generic "off-the-shelf" algorithm that was designed to read a barcode in a supermarket
- 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)
- Any tube image can be clicked on and the individual scan is shown (on the right hand side) with the tube location and barcode
- Cryoprotection™
- The occurrence of condensation whilst scanning 2D datamatrix tubes straight from cryogenic storage is well known
- Ziath's Cryoprotection™ is a special proprietary coating that eliminates the condensation and ensures uninterrupted scanning
- Ziath's method for eliminating condensation uses no extra electrical components
- Prevents the scanner window from misting up when a cold rack is scanned
- Our passive technology does not use heat or blown air
- No risk of accidentally thawing your samples
- Increased reliability and insurance that the cost of this option is at acceptable levels
- Cube Standalone and DP5 Standard; includes DP5 Cube instrument, power adaptor and country relevant power cable, DP5 software (download link supplied), Cryoprotection, USB lead to connect instrument to host computer, and user guide (download link supplied)
