 ABgene® Launch Innovative New Readers for 2D Coded Tubes


ABgene® announces the launch of the latest in 2D barcoded sample tracking, the 2DCYPHER™ SmartScan reader.



Epsom, UK, 29 July, 2005: Created for the ABgene® 2DCYPHER™ coded cluster tube racks, SmartScan is capable of scanning and decoding 96 tubes in less than 20 seconds. Weighing just 820g, its small footprint and low profile (265x175x36mm) make it ideal for integration onto the deck of liquid handling robots.

SmartScan is truly portable and suitable for a wide range of labs, including high-throughput screening and university research, delivering cost-effective performance. SmartScan is available as a portable version (battery or USB-powered), or the automation-friendly SmartScan+ for robotic integration. Both versions are compatible with Windows® 2000 and XP, enabling data export to .xls and .csv file formats. Scan results can also be stored on portable media, such as digital camera memory cards. 

Featuring user-friendly software and a range of data export options, SmartScan offers maximum compatibility with sample tracking solutions. The reader is fully compatible with 2DCYPHER™ Pilot sample tracking software. 

For more information please visit the 2DCYPHER™ SmartScan, or Pilot, product page or contact your local ABgene® representative.
