Novel 2D barcode scanner technology from Ziath

DP5 represents the very latest generation of 2D barcoded tube and rack scanners from Ziath, a world leader in sample tracking and information management for Life Science.

Using fast and reliable cutting-edge communications and control protocols, DP5 simplifies the operation of Ziath’s camera-based scanners for users, while simultaneously offering greater networking ability and enhanced security features for more demanding applications in two add-on packages.

Using high-speed, web-based, communications protocols allows DP5 to run just one scanner in your lab, or multiple scanners connected over a local area network. In the advanced DP5 Network application, scanners can be controlled directly from Wi-Fi connected smart phones, tablets or laptops. Ziath’s new DP5 Secure application offers data encryption and multi-level user authority management as part of the package. Also included along with a full audit trail is the revolutionary ScanStore feature in which every scan is stored with both image and tabular data for later review or audit.
