Integrated BioBanking System: Enhancing Storage and Tracking
WHEATON understands that when it comes to BioBanking, sample integrity means everything. With the addition of the new WHEATON PluraScan™ 2D Bar Code Reader to the WHEATON cryogenic product line, sample integrity is secure and traceable.
WHEATON offers reliable solutions for biospecimen storage, processing and tracking based on the specific needs of each sample and designed specifically for the needs of researchers.
The WHEATON PluraScan™, designed to capture data stored on the 2D Data matrix bar codes of cryogenic storage vials, is able to scan and read the individual bar code insert on each vial stored in WHEATON’s pen-bottom KeepIT® Boxes. With a built-in frost reduction system, the WHEATON PluraScan™ is able to scan up to 40 WHEATON KeepIT® boxes immediately after removal from ultra-low temperature storage. The acquired, decoded 2D data are imported into most laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and databases, ensuring a reliable method of storing, tracking and retrieving sample vials.
