Ziath has introduced the latest version of DataPaq 5 (DP5), its versatile web-based software product that allows scientists to read 2D-barcoded tubes at the point of sample storage or retrieval.
DP5 provides a convenient way to use a 2D barcoded tube or rack scanner anywhere across a laboratory or wherever a suitable laptop or computer is available on site. It can run on both Microsoft and Apple operating systems using any computer on a building’s local network to which a Ziath reader is also attached. Designed to run on Ziath's popular camera-based 2D barcode scanners - the Mirage, Express and the Cube - DP5 provides visual confirmation of tube identity and individual tube image inspection.
With samples often stored in large -80°C freezers, liquid nitrogen tanks or fully automated stores situated in an outbuilding or a basement, DP5 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.
The latest version of the web-based software tool includes 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, the company is also debuting both Android and IoS apps that can run rack scanners directly from a mobile device, 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.
