Presto Rack & Tube Readers provide fast and accurate barcode identification for cryogenic sample tubes, supporting both high-throughput rack scanning and individual tube verification. The product family includes rack readers and single-tube readers, enabling laboratories and biobanks to improve sample traceability, simplify inventory management, and accelerate daily sample processing workflows with reliable barcode decoding.
Rack & Single-Tube Readers
Presto includes rack readers for cryoboxes and SBS racks, and compact readers for individual tubes. Both support flexible barcode identification and connect via USB for straightforward integration into laboratory workflows
Rapid 2D Barcode Decoding
Advanced imaging technology enables rapid 2D Data Matrix decoding, with rack scans completed within three seconds and single-tube reads in under one second. No additional setup is required for white or black code backgrounds.
Accurate Sample Identification
The rack reader decodes rack and tube barcodes in a single scan, linking each sample to its position. Broad compatibility with multiple Data Matrix formats supports consistent identification across different labware configurations.
High-Throughput Scanning
Entire racks of tubes are decoded simultaneously rather than one tube at a time. Single-scan rack and tube identification accelerates batch processing, reduces manual handling, and improves throughput in biobanking workflows
Reliable Data Verification
Presto captures tube codes and position data together, providing a structured record for inventory checks. Customizable decoding templates and output formats help align scan results with existing sample management systems.
Easy Laboratory Operation
Automatic code recognition requires no additional settings for supported 2D barcodes. The single-tube reader includes an integrated display, while customizable file headers, formats, and tube orders simplify data transfer.
