Ziath announced it will showcase its new, cost-effective 2D barcode rack scanner, the DataPaq™ Mirage, at SLAS2018 (3–7 February 2018, San Diego, CA). This innovative camera-based scanner has a low-profile design enabling it to be easily integrated with robotic liquid handling systems, as well as other laboratory automation solutions. As a result, the DataPaq™ Mirage allows the benefits of a more sophisticated camera-based 2D barcode rack scanner to be brought to automation workflows for the same price as an old flatbed scanner.
Researchers working in biotechs, academia, and pharma frequently manage a large number of samples and, as a result, require automated solutions to assist with routine techniques, such as liquid dispensing. Most camera-based scanners are too tall for use on liquid handling workstations; however, the patent-pending technology of Ziath’s DataPaq™ Mirage utilises a mirror to give the scanner a more compact design.

“Here at Ziath, we are proud to have developed the first complete camera-based 2D barcode rack scanner that can fit on the deck of a liquid handling workstation,” said David Anstee, Commercial Director at Ziath. “The DataPaq™ Mirage offers a cost-effective solution for researchers wanting to upgrade their existing flatbed scanner to a faster camera-based system. The response to the DataPaq™ Mirage has been very positive amongst researchers, with the scanner already in high demand.”
The DataPaq™ Mirage will be showcased at SLAS2018 at both the Biosero booth (booth 929) and the Phenix Research Products booth (booth 1235). For more information about Ziath’s DataPaq™ Mirage.
