Ziath has announced the Uno single tube reader – a powerful device with features to make sample management work with 2D barcoded tubes easier and faster.
Measuring 66 x 53.5 x 51.5 mm – the rugged tube reader features a high-resolution camera with fast electronics, capable of reading 2D barcodes from any currently available tube including 384-well tubes. Simply hold the tube to the scanner window and the code is instantly displayed.
Affordably priced, the reader also has an optional capability to read Brooks Acoustix tubes. The product can be supplied with or without cryoprotection for scanning of tubes taken from cold storage.
The USB 3 device acts as a Microsoft Keyboard Wedge and inserts the barcode into any open programme on the desktop. The enhanced drivers allow the Uno to be ready to read immediately with no lag time and even allow adjustment of the camera for changes in contrast between different manufacturers tubes.
The device will be showcased at Booth 1632 at the SLAS International Exhibition in Boston, USA (February 5 – 9, 2022). Other new products will include the Cyclops low light barcode reader and the latest version of the company’s powerful web based DP5 2D rack decoding software.
