The Express Scanner from Ziath, San Diego, Calif., is a rapid solution for ensuring the traceability of samples in 2D-barcoded nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tubes. The product delivers a fast scan and decode time for a full rack of 2D-barcoded NMR sample tubes in under 3 seconds, scanning from the top.

Traditionally, 2D-barcoded NMR tubes are difficult to read with a conventional scanner, as the caps are on the top of the tubes and most scanners are designed to read from underneath.

Created by working closely with a leading European NMR spectrometry lab, the Express scanner is designed to operate on top of the sample tubes without applying any weight. In addition, for Bruker NMR spectrometer users, Ziath provides a dedicated slide for their tube carriers that can only be inserted in one orientation, thereby conserving the origin position (the “A1” position) each time.

The Express Scanner is supplied with a controller that controls scanning and data processing using Ziath industry-standard Datapaq software (version 3.17) or new DP5 web enabled software which enable exporting of tube barcodes in tables, as text, JPEG, XML, XLS files, and in JSON formats.
