Integration with DP5 Reader Software

  • Software designed and written in-house at Azenta
  • Decoding 2D codes is achieved using our own algorithm, which we specifically developed for ‘tube-sized’ codes
  • A network connection allows multiple users to access the DP5 software using the server address. It also enables communication with multiple units connected to the same network
  • The DP5 interface can be accessed via tablet or mobile phone using the same server address
  • AI-enabled no-tube detection
  • Exposure mode selection
  • Read retry with pause
  • Displays the results of the decoding and can identify the difference between a clear read, a damaged code, and a issing tube
  • Any tube image can be clicked on, and the individual read is shown (on the right-hand side) with the tube location and code
  • Mobile app available, supported by ISO and Android – Free service to use and download
  • Free DP5 Software Upgrades: Lifetime

 

Cryoprotection

  • The occurrence of condensation while reading 2D DataMatrix tubes straight from cryogenic storage is well known
  • Passive Cryoprotection is a special proprietary coating that eliminates the condensation and ensures uninterrupted reading
  • Our passive technology does not use heat or blown air, reducing any risk of thawing your samples
