BioMicroLab Scan ES

The versatile BioMicroLab SampleScan ES is optimized for multiple tube formats enabling flexible performance.

Decoding for laboratories with multiple tube formats

Compatible with the widest array of labware and with built-in condensation reduction technology to scan frozen racks, the versatile BioMicroLab SampleScan ES is the choice for laboratories with multiple tube formats. It is available with an integrated 1D reader to decode the rack ID from any side, and its adjustable output file includes 2D tube barcodes, tube positions, and rack ID data for output to LIMS or other systems.

Simplifies scanning of frozen tubes

Active and passive technologies prevent condensation and fogging on the glass, enabling efficient and effective scanning of cold and frozen tubes.

Efficiently captures Rack ID

2D embedded barcodes on the base of racks are automatically captured, and with an optional 1D linear barcode reader that attaches to any side of the instrument, the 1D rack ID is scanned and decoded.

Scan single tubes or full racks

Scan a rack or simply hover a single tube over the scanner to decode a single tube. For single tubes, the single tube scan feature sends the decoded barcode directly to any open application, while user-friendly software is used for full rack scanning.

Rack orientation guide enables precise positioning

An indicator shows the operator exactly where to place the rack for successful data capture every time.

Compatible with a wide variety of labware

The E-Series decodes 2D barcodes on the base of cryotubes, cryo vials, glass vial, and others in a wide range of ANSI/SLAS standard labware.

Intuitive software interface

BioMicroLab’s SampleScan Software captures the 2D barcode image, decodes the barcode, and outputs the data in a user configurable .csv (excel-like) file format for easy integration with your sample database system.

The Scan ES scans and decodes a rack in 96 well rack in 8 seconds and a 384 well rack in 9 seconds
The single tube scan feature sends decoded barcode to any application
Compact footprint
One-touch scan button to quickly initiate a scan without a mouse click
Missing tube detection
Condensation reduction system and anti-fog treatment keep the scanning window clear for effective barcode capture.
Scans 2D embedded barcode on the base of the rack
Scans 1D linear barcode Rack ID (1D Auto Model)
Compatible with ANSI/SLAS standard tube racks and more
LIMS compatible (SampleScan software outputs .csv to send to LIMS)

BioMicroLab’s user-friendly SampleScan instruments scan, decode and output the unique ID number encoded in the two-dimensional barcode on the bottom of the sample tubes and the one-dimensional barcode on the side of the rack. The SampleScan Software captures the 2D barcode image, decodes the barcode(s), and outputs the data in a user configurable .csv (excel-like) file format for easy use with your sample database system.

This easy-to-use Windows based application provides point-and-click control of the scanner and an on-screen display of the barcode image with colorful visual scan status for quick confirmation of the scanning process. Barcodes are also displayed on the screen so the user can quickly evaluate any non-decodable barcodes.
