2D Barcode Reader Offers Integration
Oct 29 2010
Hamilton Robotics announces a new, proprietary 2D Barcode Reader specially designed to provide advanced sample tracking functions on MICROLAB STAR automated liquid handling workstation. The new reader has a compact footprint in a standard Hamilton carrier size to minimise the required deck space. The reader’s CCD camera records barcodes in less than .5 seconds from a wide range of sample formats including boxes of SBS tubes and biovials in 96-well format. Five labware positions are available on the device The 2D barcode reader supports a variety of tubes from many manufacturers, in 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-well configurations.
2D barcoding is a valuable tool for sample tracking and storage and provides critical chain-of-custody information. The new reader is ideal for high-throughput screening, sample archival, forensics, and work with SNPs and blood samples.
“Up to now, MICROLAB STAR users have been required to use third-party 2D barcode readers,” explained Scott Eaton, Director of Clinical and International Sales and Marketing for Hamilton Robotics. “These third-party devices require more deck space than the Hamilton-designed peripherals, which now include our own reader.”
