Ziath specialises in instrumentation control and information management in both the academic and the pharmaceutical/biotech industry sectors with a focus on the application of laboratory automation.

Founded in 2005 by scientists and engineers, Ziath continues to develop innovative new products designed to simplify processes in the life science industry. Ziath has a range of products divided into four main categories of 2D barcode scanners, devices for handling tubes, 2D barcoded tubes and sample management software. Ziath's 2D Rack scanners are intuitive to use, reliable, robust and popular across the world for biobanking, compound management and all other sample tracking applications, from a simple single tube scanner through rapid and small rack readers up to large and flexible multi-rack readers.

Combined with our world class support we can organise your sample collection, so that you never lose a sample again!

The DataPaq™ software is designed and written in-house at Ziath. Decoding 2D barcodes is achieved using our own algorithm which we have specifically developed for ‘tube sized’ codes. DataPaq™ displays the results of the scan and can identify the difference between a correctly scanned tube (green), a damaged tube (red) and missing tube (grey). Also, any tube image can high-lighted and the individual scan is shown (on the right-hand side) with the tube location and barcode.

The formation of condensation on the instrument window whilst scanning tubes straight from cryogenic storage is a well-known problem. Ziath has the option of using a special coating that eliminates the condensation and ensures uninterrupted scanning. Ziath's method for eliminating condensation uses no extra electrical components, resulting in no risk of accidentally thawing your samples, increased reliability and ensuring that the cost of this option is at acceptable levels.
