Consumables & Instruments | Brochure SAMPLE TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT Innovative solutions for Life Science

Consumables & Instruments | Brochure Introduction Nearly 20 years ago, Ziath was the first company to develop a fast and easy to use rack reader that accurately read and decoded full 96-position racks of 2D tubes. Today Ziath is a global leader in the use of 2D bar-coded sample tubes in the management of large sample libraries. Our readers have an enviable reputation worldwide for working straight out of the box, giving years of uninterrupted service. We achieved this by designing and building all our own equipment and software in our UK factory. When you buy a Ziath reader, you are buying it...

Consumables & Instruments | Brochure Some of your frequently asked questions answered by Ziath 1: I have FluidX and Matrix tubes – will they work with your scanner? Ziath readers are designed to work with all currently available and most legacy types of tubes. If your tubes are not on the list on the Ziath website, a specific template can be made for your tubes. 2: My tubes are not in a 96-well SBS format, can I still read them on your readers? Ziath readers from Azenta can be configured with different “templates” that tell the reader where to look for the barcodes in any given rack. So if you...

Consumables & Instruments | Brochure Single tube readers_Uno Single Tube Reader 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. By popular request, Ziath has added the convenience of linear barcode scanning to the single tube reader, so that you can now read the bottom of the tube...

Consumables & Instruments | Brochure When samples are removed from a minus 80 °C freezer, there is frequently a high level of ice buildup on the racks. This can often obstruct the 2D barcode and prevent it from reading properly. A simple solution is to blot the rack onto a sponge soaked in alcohol. The rack temperature can still cause problems with “fogging” of the scanner glass as condensation forms on the glass which has been cooled by the application of the cold racks straight from the freezer. The best way to overcome this is to use glass with a proprietary coating that stops the fogging...

Consumables & Instruments | Brochure Tube devices Mohawk The Mohawk Semi-Automatic Tube Selector enables you to pick individual or groups of tubes directly from 48- or 96-well racks with ease. Trying to extract a single tube from a rack can be difficult and doing so manually can lead to positional errors. By using software to control up to 96 individual solenoids, the Mohawk can lift one, two or up to sixteen individual tubes at a time, making it easy to remove them from the rack and place in a subsidiary rack or other tube device. The pins to be selected can be set in a “pick list” which can...
