High Speed Barcode Readers Optimized for Cool Rooms
The SampleScan™ HS is ideal for decoding ANSI/SLAS tube racks in ambient or cool room environments. Scanning a 96-format rack in just one second, and featuring technology to reduce condensation build-up.
All our scanners come with a 5 year warranty

Key Features
High-Speed Camera-based Decoding
Utilizing camera-based technology to capture and decode the barcode, the SampleScan HS decodes a rack in less than one second, and a 384 rack in less than 3 seconds!
Designed for Cold Environments
We apply an anti-fog treatment to the scanner window and include an Active Condensation Reduction system inside the instrument to eliminate frost and fog for continual scanning of frozen labware.
Rack Orientation Guide

Software
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. BioMicroLab’s 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 user with your sample database system.
This easy-to-use Windows based application provides point-and-click control of the scanner. It provides 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.
- Software is configurable for a variety of rack formats
- Automatically captures 2D embedded rack IDs on base of rack
- Automatically captures linear 1D rack IDs (with 1D Auto Model)
- Data output files are user defined and customizable (.csv format)
- User easily creates a tube rack profile based on workflow, making changing rack types easy
- Duplicate rack scan detection
- Cumulative log file
- Decoded barcode error handling
- SDK toolkit is included to enable transfer of output files directly to LIMS or to integrate with other laboratory robotics.
- Rescan or manually edit barcode data
- Network connectivity with TCP/IP
