Coded tube readers to suit all applications
Developed in parallel with the TraXis 2-dimensional coded tube system, a range of readers optimised to suit different applications has been announced by Micronic
Sample coding enhances traceability and retrieval
Traxis tubes may be encrypted with up to 8.5 billion different combinations of a numerical code that provide a unique identification and radically enhanced sample storage traceability
Automated tube capping instrument is easy to use
Micronic has introduced the Automatic Capmat Sealer, a new easy-to-use device for producing a high integrity seal on 96-tube sample storage racks
HTM readers provide the robustness, reliability and productivity required by laboratories faced with the demands of repeated processing large numbers of samples.
Scanning a complete rack of 96 codes in less than a second, HTM readers facilitate the high-speed movement and audit traceable tracking of laboratory samples.
Using a single life vision system camera, with no moving parts, HTM readers are extremely reliable and require minimal maintenance.
For laboratories evaluating a coded tube storage system or where productivity requirements are less demanding the TM reader presents a highly affordable solution.
Using the Micronic reader software in conjunction with a standard flatbed scanner the TM reader can scan and interpret 96 codes in less than 20 seconds.
While the movement of complete tube racks might be required in sample storage facilities equally important is the rapid tracking of the movement of single tubes within these automated systems.
Available in stand-alone or in-line configurations the Micronic STM reader can scan and interpret the unique codes on single tubes in less than 0.5 seconds.
Using embedded software and able to read coded tubes at a distance the in-line STM reader may be readily integrated into automated sample processing systems providing unmatched productivity.
In non-automated environments the off-line version simply requires the tube to be placed onto the reader.
Readers are available for both TraXis and Tracker-DM coded tubes. Request a free brochure from Micronic ...
