Ziath DP5 Express Rack Reader

Product Code: DP5-E-STD-80

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

  • The smallest rack scanner currently available
  • Camera-based, delivers rapid imaging & decoding
  • Compatible with 24, 48, 96, 240, 384 well SBS racks
  • Scans all makes of 2D barcoded tubes

Express Standalone with Cryoprotection and DP5 Standard; includes:

  • DP5 Express instrument complete
  • Power adaptor, power cable,
  • DP5 software (download link supplied),
  • Cryoprotection,
  • USB lead to connect instrument to host computer, user guide (download link supplied); 1 reader

Wide Labware Compatibility and Robotics Friendly

  • Low profile allows use on robotic integrations for liquid handling systems
  • Scans all current, commonly used, SBS format racks
  • Scans acoustic tube racks in seconds (i.e. Acoustic)
  • Innovative and unique scanning technology (patent pending)
  • Economically priced

Integration with DP5 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
