FluidX Barcode Rack Scanner Does Not Include Software and Power Supply

The FluidX 20-2002 Barcode Rack Scanner is a specialized laboratory instrument designed for the rapid identification and tracking of biological samples. It is a whole-rack scanner, meaning it captures and decodes the 2D Data Matrix barcodes located on the bottom of sample tubes while they remain in their storage rack.

A key feature of this scanner is its ability to decode a full rack of tubes (typically 24, 48, or 96-well SBS formats) in just a few seconds. This efficiency is critical for biobanking, compound management, and high-throughput screening workflows where manual scanning would be impractical. The device typically uses camera or flatbed imaging technology to capture the barcodes and is designed to be compatible with a wide range of tube manufacturers, not just FluidX (now part of Azenta Life Sciences).
