FluidX Perception™ HD LF Whole Rack Reader
FluidX Perception™ HD LF offers fast identification of large format and SBS-format racked, 2D-coded sample storage tubes, without the need to remove tubes from racks; backbone of many sample storage and tracking systems, for applications including biobanks, compound libraries and other high-throughput storage environments
- Advanced camera-based imaging system
- Automation and robotics friendly
- Easy integration with IntelliCode™ software
- Additional sample security
- Seamless changing of rack format
- No decoding attempt for empty tube positions
Overview
- Given the variety of 2D coded tubes on the market, Perception™ is designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, reading any 2D coded sample tube currently on the market, not only those supplied by FluidX
- Designed and developed entirely with the end user in mind, the FluidX Perception™ HD LF offers fast identification of large format and SBS-format racked, 2D-coded sample storage tubes, without the need to remove tubes from racks
- Using advanced camera-based imaging systems, Perception™ readers are ideal for more challenging applications and environments, such as integrating into robotic systems, cold environments or when speed and size of reader are important
- Perception™ readers form the backbone of many sample storage and tracking systems, for applications including biobanks, compound libraries and other high-throughput storage environments
- An integrated multi-position linear barcode reader is available for the simultaneous reading of rack linear 1D barcodes
- Perception™ is supplied with a 5-year warranty
Key Features
Flexible applications through advanced design
- Advanced camera-based systems for more challenging applications, such as integration into robotic systems
- Also ideal for cold store and low temperature environments and where speed and small footprint are important
Automation and robotics friendly
- A gripper cutout section around the scan window to enable easy robotic handling of shallow racks
- Small footprint, barely larger than the rack itself, aiding greater compatibility with automated systems including liquid handling
Easy system integration with IntelliCode™ software
- Used in conjunction with FluidX IntelliCode™ software offer the most advanced data export options available
- Easy integration with database sample tracking and LIMS systems
- Compatible with MS Word templates, with powerful design and formatting capabilities to create customized reports
Additional sample security
- Capable of reading both tube and rack 2D-codes simultaneously, to provide automatic rack orientation and greater sample security
- FluidX storage tube racks can be supplied with the option of carrying a unique 2D-code identifier
Linear 1D barcode reader (optional)
- Integrated multi-position 1D linear barcode reader helps to simplify robotic integration
- Ideal for decoding more challenging (non-FluidX) linear barcodes and provides rack orientation
Stored rack profiles
- Custom rack profiles can be set up for the regular use of routine, saving set-up time
- Example: empty rows or control tubes in specific positions
Seamless changing of rack format
- Using either built-in, or customized rack profiles, IntelliCode™ software will automatically determine which rack type is being read
- Software will select the appropriate rack profile for decoding and exporting tube data
- Switch between large format or 24, 48, 96, 240 and 384-format racks without making any changes to Perception™ readers or IntelliCode™ software
“No tube” feature eliminates errors
- Able to discriminate between a tube with a code that cannot be decoded, and an empty rack position
- Will not decode empty tube positions, so data files are kept clean
- Decoding speed is optimized as wasted data entry is eliminated
