The Handheld 2 tube reader from Azenta Life Sciences sets
the benchmark for rapid and accurate reading of individual 2D barcoded sample
tubes. The Handheld 2 is a powerful, portable tube reader that can be held
and operated in one hand, leaving the other free for tube handling. The intuitive device software comes pre-loaded and boots up immediately
allowing you to read tube codes, review or edit the tube contents, and use
preloaded “pick lists” to check off individual tubes as they are retrieved from
the freezer. These four functions are displayed on the Handheld 2 screen with
large icons so that method selection is easy even when wearing protective
gloves. Compatible with all 2D Datamatrix coded tubes, the Handheld 2 connects
via Wi-Fi to your desktop PC enabling you to remotely upload and download
files. This remote functionality allows you also to upload a list of tubes that
you need, then take your Handheld 2 reader to the freezer and use the Pick List
function to check each tube off after storage retrieval. Editing sample data “on the fly” is easy with a Handheld 2 tube reader.
Using a Wi-Fi connection, if an aliquot is from a tube, you can simply update
your central inventory management system remotely. With a battery life of up to a week—the Handheld 2 is a true sample
management workhorse. To learn more about the Handheld 2 single tube reader,
