CAMERA-BASED SCANNERS

   Cube – versatile scanner for SBS and Cryoboxes
   The Cube is a fast camera scanner with a unique cuboid design that can scan
   and decode all rack types currently available on the market, including those
   which are larger than the SBS format, such as cryoboxes designed to hold 81,
   100 and 196 cryotubes. The format is user-selectable through a quick and
   simple exchange of the screen bezel. This high-speed scanner uses a dual      ALL SBS
                                                                                RACKS AND
   camera system to decode 384-, 96-, 48- and 24-tube racks in 1-2 seconds CRYOBOXES –
   on a normal computer. A robust build and minimal cabling make it great for   81, 100, 196

   both benchtop and integrated applications.

   Express – integration-ready SBS camera scanner
   The Express is a compact camera scanner that reads all SBS formatted 2D
   barcoded racks and tubes, with a very fast image capture time. The Express
   is the smallest scanner on the market and since it is only slightly larger than
   the SBS rack itself, it is ideal for on-deck robotic integration. With four
   CMOS cameras, the Express can decode even the smallest 2D                     ALL
   barcodes found on 384-tube racks and conical bottom PCR plates.              SBS

   It is recommended by many larger liquid-handling robot suppliers.

   Mirage – low cost and low profile SBS camera scanner
   Ziath’s latest 2D barcode rack scanner, the Mirage, was designed around two
   main criteria – low profile and low cost of ownership. With both achieved, the
   Mirage can be used for both desktop and automation applications and comes
   at a price normally associated with older flatbed scanners. It can scan all    SBS RACKS

    Single tube scanner
    Designed with ease-of-use in
    mind, this scanner rapidly
    reads single tubes in less
    than one second per
    tube. The single tube
    scanner is very easy to
    configure, and the
    ‘keyboard wedge’
    functionality enables
    users to enter barcode
    data directly into their
    application software. This
    scanner is very robust,
    and the mineral glass
    scanning window is scratch-resistant.

    Handheld scanner
    The first truly portable scanner on the market that allows
    sample management on the move. The Handheld
    incorporates a lightweight build and intuitive interface that’s
    easy to use. It has five standard operating modes; simple
    tube scanning, scan and display data, picklist operations, edit
    data/add new sample and wired keyboard wedge function.
    Purchasing the wireless server option unlocks wireless
    keyboard wedge, link to Excel, link to Samples™
    software and link to a database. Users can also
    define unique applications for the Handheld
    and Ziath’s programmers will convert
    these into reality.

  Ziath offers such ‘cryoprotection’

  1D rack barcode reader
  All Ziath’s rack scanners can be fitted with a 1D
  scanner to read the linear barcode on the side of the
  rack. This is then recorded with the 2D codes from the
  tubes that it contains to ensure accurate sample
  tracking.

  Auto-scan
  Datapaq™ software includes the capability to
  automatically start a scan whenever a rack is placed
  onto the scanning window. This optional feature is
  available on all Ziath instruments if a linear rack reader
  is used, as shown above.

  Tube pickers
  Ziath’s manual pickers are available for both cryotubes
  and SBS tubes and allow easy one-handed removal of
  tubes from racks, minimising heat transfer and reducing
  the risk of cross contamination.

CryzoTraq tubes
Cryo-tubes and boxes are available in 2 mL and 5 mL
volumes. The advanced cap design provides excellent
leak resistance without the use of ‘o’ rings and is available
in both internal and external threads. The CryzoTraq range
can be stored at temperatures as low as -196ºC. The
tubes are sterilised by e-beam and are guaranteed
DNA/RNA, DNA/RNA-ase and pyrogen free from the point
of manufacture. The cryogenic boxes are available in 48
(SBS format), 81 or 100 tube format and the larger sizes
are compatible with the racks used in liquid nitrogen-
based storage systems.

  Samples™ – innovative software solution
  for sample tracking
  Ziath’s goal is to ensure you always know the
  whereabouts of your samples. Our software solution,
  Samples, enables us to do this by seamlessly
  integrating with all Ziath 2D data matrix barcode
  scanners, allowing you to quickly locate your samples.

  Samples effortlessly fits into your workflow and can be
  customised to meet your requirements. Simply install
  the software and either import or enter in the required
  information about your samples. We understand that
  each lab is different and that’s why Samples allows you
  to add custom tracking tags in a variety of different
  formats to ensure the information is stored in a way
  that’s meaningful for you. Samples is fully scalable and
  can be operated by a single user or be used on multiple
  computers across a network, allowing for easy data
  collaboration. Samples is fully compatible with both
  Ziath Mohawk tube picker and Ziath Handheld tube
  reader. Detailed pick lists and sample information can
  be up- and down-loaded to and from both devices
  seamlessly with a simple ‘plug-in’ program.

  Finding your individual samples is made easy by the
  multi-parameter search feature. Specify the sample
  characteristics that you are looking for and Samples will
  locate and report any that match and, if needed, the
  results can then be exported in a format suitable for
  downstream processing.

  If Samples does not include a specific feature that you
  need, we have the capability of adding this functionality.
  We have several installations that have been
  customised to ensure that end users can do exactly
  what they want with the software, rather than make a
  compromise with a package that cannot be changed.
