DP5 Mirage Standalone with Cryoprotection and DP5 Standard

Key Features The most compact camera based SBS 2D rack scanner available Low profile allows use on robotic integrations for liquid handling systems Innovative and unique scanning technology (patent pending) Scans all current, commonly used, SBS format racks Scans acoustic tube racks in seconds (i.e. AcoustiX) Easy to set-up and easy to use The DP5 Mirage 2D scanner offers easy, out-of-the-box set up and is delivered pre-calibrated and ready to scan.This instrument can scan all commonly used racks in the SBS format, and its low profile means that it can be easily added into liquid handling platforms and other automation systems.The low profile and economic price makes the Mirage the perfect replacement for a traditional flat bed scanner. The DataPaq™ / DP5 reader software is designed and written in-house at Ziath by Azenta Life Sciences. Decoding 2D barcodes is achieved using our own algorithm which we specifically developed for ‘tube sized’ codes It is not a global, generic "off-the-shelf" algorithm that was designed to read a barcode in a supermarket. DataPaq™ / DP5 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). Also, 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 formation of condensation on the instrument window whilst scanning tubes straight from cryogenic storage is a well known problem. Ziath by Azenta Life Sciences's Cryoprotection™ is a special coating that eliminates the condensation and ensures uninterrupted scanning. Ziath by Azenta Life Sciences's method for eliminating condensation uses no extra electrical components, resulting in no risk of accidentally thawing your samples, increased reliability and ensuring that the cost of this option is at acceptable levels.
