Ziath announces Cyclops – a linear and 2D barcode reader for its DataPaq Mirage, Cube and Express rack readers.
Cyclops is designed to accurately read linear or 2D codes printed on the edge of tube racks. This enables laboratories to use racks without an integral ‘97th code’ or orientation barcode on the underside. The side of the barcoded rack is illuminated during read, ensuring an accurate rack read under all lighting conditions.
The reader can interpret barcodes on racks of different size, and with variations in the location of the printed code on larger racks without requiring any adjustment, saving time and eliminating reading errors.
Using Ziath's DP5 high-speed rack decoding software, an attached Cyclops reader can be selected as on or off according to the rack type in use. DP5 also provides the ability to store three different rack templates for each numeric format. For example, 96-position racks with no rack code, an integral orientation code or to use the Cyclops device to read rack barcode. This capability enables organisations to switch easily between racks from different manufacturers, including legacy racks.
