Key Features

Wide Labware Compatibility & Integration Friendly
  • Ideal for integration into large automated systems
  • Available with either USB or RJ45 connector
  • Capable of reading all SBS Rack formats
  • Patented technology allows imaging under difficult lighting conditions
Space Efficient, Fast & Easy to Use
  • Smallest footprint 2D barcode rack reader
  • Fast camera-based reader
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™ Option
  • 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

The Mirage on the left has Ziath’s proprietary Cryoprotection which prevents fogging. That on the right has no special coating and condensation has formed from contact with the cold rack
