To enable fast, accurate and efficient sample identification, Micronic offers an extensive code reader Range which consists of single tube scanners and whole rack scanners. The scanners can read coded 24-, 48- And 96-well format tubes. Micronic offers also a wide range of manual and automated capping and decapping equipment. These devices enable significant productivity gains to be made in the opening and closing of multiple sample storage tubes. In addition, several sample management solutions are available that suit all throughput and budget needs.

To enable fast, accurate and efficient sample identification, Micronic offers an extensive code reader range which consists of whole rack and single tube readers. The high-end DR700 Rack Reader features deep focus image technology (CCD imaging technology) ensuring the highest accuracy 2D code reading, and an anti-frost system so that tube codes from even frozen samples can be read. The DR700 has a scan time of approximately 7 seconds. To read 1D rack barcodes simultaneously, the Side Barcode Reader is available.
The Micronic Rack Readers DR500 and DR505 are small benchtop solutions that can read 2D codes quickly and cost effective within seconds. The compact readers are built for high throughput and automated systems. The DR505 version has an anti-frost system, which enables users to read racks filled with 2D coded tubes straight from the freezer. All Micronic Rack Readers are standard supplied with Micronic Code Reader Software to ensure optimal performance.
To identify codes from single tubes, we offer easy to use single tube scanners. The versatile Micronic Tube Reader DT500 can read 1D barcoded and 2D Data-Matrix coded tubes within 1 second. The Micronic Tube Reader DT300 is a portable lightweight device.
The comprehensive Micronic Code Reader Software is fully compatible with all Micronic Rack Readers. The user friendly software is easy to use, gives reliable code readings and can be easily integrated into any laboratory sample database.
Developed on the basis of extensive user feedback, the new Micronic Code Reader Software features an automatic re-read function that ensures all the codes in a rack are deciphered quickly. After a rack is scanned, each cell contains a high-quality image of the code and tube ID, as well as a ‘no tube, no code’ feature if a tube cannot be found.
Additional useful features include adjustment controls for brightness, contrast and threshold to optimize tube code display. Furthermore, the Micronic Code Reader Software features an automatic code polarity recognition function, which allows users to scan white on black code surfaces and black on white code surfaces, further improving compatibility. All features in the new software are included as standard at no extra cost with free upgrades and technical support.
The process of capping and decapping tubes at laboratories might seem harmless. However, when dealing with very small sample volumes, the repetitive opening and closing of tubes without loss of sealing performances is highly important.
The Micronic Technology Center evaluated the durability of Micronic 1.40mL screw cap and push cap tubes in combination with Micronic screw caps and TPE push caps. Durability tests were performed by opening and closing the tubes up to 100 times manually and electronically.
