Reading 2D-Barcoded Tubes Directly at the Point of Storage or Retrieval

Ziath has announced that it will launch a revolutionary web-based 2D-barcoded tube identification product – Datapaq 5 at SLAS 2020** in San Diego, USA.

In modern laboratories – samples are typically stored in large -80°C freezers, liquid nitrogen tanks or fully automated stores that are often inconveniently situated in an outbuilding or a basement. Datapaq 5 is the first of a new generation of digital sample management tools being developed by Ziath to allow sample management technicians to quickly and accurately log sample identity at the point of storage or retrieval.Datapaq 5 will run from any computer on a local network or over the internet if your IT rules allow, using a web-based highly intuitive graphical user interface. Datapaq 5 provides visual confirmation of tube identity and individual tube image inspection. From launch, this exciting new product will be available on Ziath’s popular camera-based 2D barcoded scanners the Mirage, Express and the Cube.

Datapaq 5 offers a convenient way to use a 2D barcoded tube or rack scanner anywhere across a laboratory or an organisation’s site where a suitable laptop or computer is available. Thanks to its web-based interface, Datapaq 5’s user interface will run on both Microsoft and Apple operating systems.

The new web-based software includes a host of features designed to streamline the collection of tube information for subsequent processing in inventory management software, such as Ziath’s popular Samples program.

In a further development – Ziath are also debuting an Android app that can run their rack scanners from a mobile device directly, in addition to using a web interface. This will put tube identification directly into the technician’s hands as they access their samples, wherever they may be stored.
