For laboratories with manual workflows that need an efficient, high-speed 2D bar code reader for tube racks, the LabElite I.D. Reader from Hamilton Storage decodes multiple types of labware including 2D bar coded tubes in all common 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-tube racks and honeycomb-shaped racks, providing complete sample tracking during processing. In addition, the reader can identify racks that are labeled with a 2D bar code on the bottom. A 96-tube rack runs in less than three seconds and a 384-tube rack in less than five seconds.
