FluidX Perception™ Whole Rack Barcode Readers

Perception ™ HD Range of  2D & 1D Whole Rack Barcode Readers

Perception really is the smallest whole rack reader available, in fact it’s 15% smaller than the next smallest reader. Fits most SBS rack/plate nests, no overhang to obstruct liquid handling systems.

The Perception HD range of compact whole rack 2D & 1D barcode readers offers fast identifcation of racked, 2D-barcoded sample storage tubes, without the need to remove tubes from racks. Using advanced camera-based imaging systems, Perception whole rack 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.

KEY FEATURES OF THE PERCEPTION RANGE

Flexible Applications through Advanced Design

• Using advanced camera-based systems, FluidX Perception whole rack readers are ideal for more challenging applications, such as integration into robotic systems, cold store and low temperature environments and where speed and small footprint are important

Automation and Robotics Friendly

• All FluidX Perception rack readers have a gripper cutout section around the scan window to enable easy robotic handling of shallow racks
• The Perception Rapid SBS reader has a small footprint, barely larger than the SBS rack itself, aiding greater compatibility with automated systems including liquid handling

Easy System Integration with IntelliCode™ Software

• Perception HD Readers systems 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

• FluidX storage tube racks can be supplied with the option of carrying a unique 2D code identifer
• All FluidX Perception HD whole rack readers are capable of reading both tube and rack 2D codes simultaneously, to provide automatic rack orientation and greater sample security

Linear 1D Barcode Reader

• Integrated multi-position 1D linear barcode reader helps to simplify robotic integration, is ideal for decoding more challenging (non-FluidX) linear barcodes and provides rack orientation

Stored Rack Profles

• Custom rack profles can be set up for the regular use of routine, custom rack profles, such as empty rows or control tubes in specifc positions, saving set-up time

Seamless Changing of Rack Format

• Using either built-in, or customized rack profles, IntelliCode software will automatically determine which rack type is being read

• Software will select the appropriate rack profle for decoding and exporting tube data Switch between 24, 48, 96, 240 and 384-format racks without making any changes to Perception readers or IntelliCode software

“No Tube” Feature Eliminates Errors

• Perception HD whole rack readers are able to discriminate between a tube with a code that cannot be decoded, and anempty rack position
• The reader will not attempt to decode empty tube positions, so data fles are kept clean Reading speed is optimized as wasted data entry is eliminated
