Barcode Reader Module

Barcode Reader Module

This Barcode Reader Module reads the barcode labels on 2mL, 10mL and 20mL vials regardless of the orientation on the vials. Therefore it ensures highest process safety and traceability


Reads horizontal 1 D barcodes


Two scanners allow identification of vials irrespective of position of the barcode


Works with 2mL, 10mL and 20mL vials


Centrifuges

Centrifuges

For the efficient centrifugation in automated workflows (e.g. protein precipitation, phase separation)


Relative centrifugal force: 

2000 x g with Centrifuge Combi 
5000 x g with Centrifuge 2 mL


Vial format:

Centrifuge Combi: 2 mL (6 vials) + 
                          10 mL / 20 mL (2 vials)
Centrifuge:           2 mL (8 vials)


See the Centrifuges Module brochure 


Decapper

Decapper

Opens/closes 2, 10, 20 mL screw cap vials without any change of hardware (no adapters required)


A defined torque guarantees the reproducible and leak-tight closing of headspace vials
