 ABgene® Launch Innovative New Readers for 2D Coded Tubes


ABgene, a leading provider of molecular biology reagents, plastic consumables and instrumentation, has added two new instruments to their suite of biostorage products, the SmartScan.™ 96 rack reader and the SmartScan Solo.™ single tube reader



As experimental history becomes increasingly crucial in the day-to-day handling of samples, more sophisticated tracking is required to maintain this knowledge. Created to be used with ABgene’s SmartScan coded cluster tubes and racks, the SmartScan instrumentation line is designed to help track and manage sample libraries of all sizes, from small, low-throughput units, to state of the art, high-throughput national biobanks.

SmartScan 96 offers unparalleled speed and efficiency for decoding. One of the fastest rack readers on the market, 2 CCD cameras can decode a 96-place SBS footprint rack in less than six seconds. Its small footprint makes it ideal for integration onto the deck of liquid handling robots.

The SmartScan Solo provides fast and efficient scanning of individual tubes. With a compact design, (no taller than a soft drink can in height, and the diameter of a CD) it is the ideal companion for users wishing to optimise sample tracking. Suitable for use with all ABgene SmartScan tubes, it decodes a single tube in less than one second, providing quick and reliable identification and making it ideal for those new to sample tracking.

Both SmartScan models offer a variety of data export options, are compatible with Windows® 2000 and XP and enable data export to .xls and .csv file formats. Scan results can also be stored on portable media, such as digital camera memory cards. Both SmartScan models also feature TCP/IP command protocol, making them ideal for robotic integration.
