DataPaq™ Mirage Camera Rack Scanner

In this application note, explore the new version of Datapaq 5 – the versatile web-based software product from Ziath that allows scientists to directly read 2D-barcoded tubes at the point of sample storage or retrieval. Discover how DP5 can be run from any PC or Apple computer on a building’s local network using a web-based highly intuitive graphical user interface, and learn how its digital sample management tools were developed to allow sample management technicians to quickly and accurately log sample identity at the point of storage or retrieval.

While 2D barcodes offer excellent all-round performance, from time to time scanning issues do happen. This eBook highlights some of the most commonly encountered scanning issues – and how to avoid them.

Sample management is the selecting, collecting, storage, and retrieval of samples and their inherent data. It is a fundamental part of quality control in a laboratory and, if overlooked, can have costly and time-consuming repercussions.

The Ziath Mohawk Tube Selector can work with most tubes formats, including the latest Brooks Fluidx Acoustix tubes - but a couple of special procedures are needed for it to work. Commercial Director Steve Knight shows you how to use Acoustix tubes with a Mohawk and a DataPaq Mirage 2D-bar coded rack scanner for best results.

Using the Ziath Mohawk tube selector with a DataPaq Mirage rack scanner to pick and verify 2D-bar coded tubes from SLAS/SBS racks is easy. Steve Knight shows how you can generate a puck list, format a destination rack from several source racks and then verify the bar code IDs of the selected tubes using the Mohawk & Mirage together. The combination works with most popular tube formats from LVL, Micronic, Thermo, Matrix, Brooks, Fluidx, and Greiner.

We can't be with you in person at international Trade Shows such as ISBER, EBW and SLAS right now, but we've put together a "virtual trade stand" to give you some idea of how we can help to streamline sample management in your lab through clever use of 2D-barcoded tubes and accessories. We hope you enjoy it! You can learn more on our website at www.ziath.com
