Azenta Life Sciences unveils compact 2D rack reader for laboratories

Azenta Life Sciences has introduced a new solution for reading SBS format racks, potentially enhancing efficiency in busy medical and life science laboratories. The DP5 Mirage Rack Reader, touted as the most compact camera-based 2D rack reader available, offers a space-saving design that could prove valuable in crowded lab environments.The device utilises patent-pending technology, setting “new standards for 2D code readers”. It comes pre-calibrated and ready for immediate use, a feature that may appeal to labs seeking to minimise setup time and complexity.

 

Integration and software

According to Azenta, the DP5 Mirage “can be readily integrated into almost any laboratory workflow protocol”. The accompanying DP5 Decoding Software aims to simplify operation whilst offering enhanced networking capabilities and security features, available in two add-on packages.

The DP5 Mirage is part of Azenta’s latest generation of coded tube and rack readers. As a company specialising in sample tracking and management for life science laboratories, Azenta’s new offering reflects the ongoing trend towards more efficient and compact lab equipment.

Potential impact

While the press release does not provide specific performance metrics, the emphasis on compactness and ease of use suggests that the DP5 Mirage could potentially reduce spatial constraints and streamline sample management processes in research settings.
