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

Space Efficient, Fast & Easy to Use
Smallest footprint 2D barcode rack reader
Fast camera-based reader
Integration with DP5 Reader 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
