SPT Labtech’s fast barcode scanner now integrates with eLabNext’s lab platform for improved efficiency
Cambridge, UK – SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, announces that its compact, user-friendly barcode reader, BioMicroLab Scan, now integrates with the eLabNext Digital Laboratory Platform (DLP). The free add-on can be accessed through the eLabMarketplace, eLabNext’s application library for extending and personalizing platform functionality, enabling users to rapidly scan and decode the broadest range of tube racks on the market, including cryotubes, cryovials, cryoboxes, glass vials, and ANSI/SLAS microplate standard labware.
By adding the BioMicroLab Scan application to eLabNext’s platform, users can work with confidence, knowing that sample identification, even for extensive sample libraries, is taken care of. The connection between the BioMicroLab Scan and eLabNext also gives users a quick and easy way of storing integral sample data in the cloud-based platform. Automatic transfer of information ensures research integrity and data integrity so scientists can focus more time and effort on other tasks.
“The integration of the BioMicroLab Scan with eLabNext will bring seamless data tracking to more labs,” says Cory Tiller, Product Manager for Sample Management at SPT Labtech. “The combination of eLabNext’s approachable platform and the Scan’s flexibility means that any lab with 2D barcoded tubes can go from sample creation to inventory update in moments.”
“Today’s labs require seamless automation and integrations, so we’re always on the lookout for any tool that helps our users circumvent issues with sample management and tracking,” comments Zareh Zurabyan, Head of eLabNext, Americas. “By allowing users to integrate the BioMicroLab Scan with our platform, they can secure their samples with one of the most versatile laboratory barcode readers on the market, and scale their lab operations efficiently.”
The BioMicroLab Scan can capture and decode SBS format racks in less than 1 second and 81/100/196 cryobox formats in less than 2 seconds. It also features compatibility with cold environments, which is essential for any laboratory personnel in the life science industry and users of the eLabNext platform.
