Drug Discovery and Lab Automation

Accurate data collection plays a critical role in efficiency and productivity in today’s drug discovery process and automated laboratory environments. Bar coding is often the leading technology used for applications such as tracking samples, trays, lots, and processes. 

Integrating bar code imagers onto robotics for automated processing is becoming increasingly common. For these varied application needs, Microscan offers readers with high decode rates, small size, light weight, and multiple code reading ability. With products to read all linear and 2D codes, on varying items using different print methods, Microscan can fulfill the data tracking needs of virtually any automated drug discovery or laboratory task.

Commonly applied Microscan products include MS-3 bar code scanners, as well as Quadrus imagers.
