The XTR-RACK range of whole rack 2D code readers is made up of three
standard models, the XTR-RACK, XTR-RACK FLEX and XTR-RACK LF.
In addition, the XTR-RACK PRO readers are designed to meet high
throughput needs.
The XTR-RACK, XTR-RACK FLEX and XTR-RACK LF readers use CCD
imaging and sophisticated decoding methods to provide robust sample
identification in just 10 seconds (total scan and decode time).
OPTIONS
A choice of additional options are available with these models (see
table below). These include an integrated linear barcode reader and
cryo version which features and integrated frost reduction system that
enables multiple racks to be read straight from freezer without the
reliability issues that can arise due to the presence of frost or
condensation.
The XTR-RACK PRO high speed whole rack readers can be easily
integrated into automated systems, with a total scan and decode
time of just 2 seconds for a rack of 96 or 384 tubes.

CRYO MODELS more about the integrated frost reduction system
The storage of biological samples such as DNA, protein, blood
fractions and viable cells is becoming commonplace and the need
to store them at lower temperatures (e.g. -20ºC, -80ºC and Gas
Phase Liquid Nitrogen) has resulted in reading challenges for
traditional rack readers.
FluidX have developed rack readers capable of reading multiple
rackswithout the build-up of frost or condensation on the underside
of the glass which causes the code to become unreadable.
Standard FluidX racks readers will operate in a cold environment as
low as -20ºC and decoding the occasional rack of cryo tubes
should not be considered an issue due to the quick read time.
However, when scanning multiple racks the accumulated time the
cold racks spend in contact with the reader glass causes a drop
the air temperature on the underside of the glass.
Condensation and frost can appear which results in poor reading
capability and possible damage to the scanning head.
FluidX 2D-coded tubes adhere to ECC200 standards and our
readers employ superior decoding algorithms, however unreliable
reading can occur as the condensation builds up as the code is
obscured and the contrast between the code and the back-
ground is diminished.
The XTR-RACK CRYO achieves 100% decoding after reading more than 40 racks from a -20ºC freezer.

Decoding frosted tubes
“The new Xtr-96 with anti misting scanning window has allowed us
to batch scan multiple -80 frozen racks, unlike the previous model
which required scanning to be interrupted by application of a
heat block to the scanning window every few racks. The ease and
trouble free use has resulted in stock control and quality control
being a stress free experience.”

WHOLE RACK 2D CODE READERS
High speed whole rack readers, ideal for robotic integration.
Compatible with 24, 48, 96 or 384-format racked 2D-coded tubes.
Fast
4 seconds total scan and decode time. 8 CCD cameras enable a
near instant read.
Easy to use with a wide variety of data capture options.
Simple, intuitive Graphical User Interface, results can be viewed
directly or integrated with other applications. ODBC connectivity for
database integration. Direct data output to ExcelTM .
Easily integrated
Winsock connectivity for instant robotic integration.
Automatic rack read and orientation
Simply place the rack on the reader and the XTR-RACK PRO will
read automatically using in-built sensors to determine rack
placement.
Robust
Sealed reading head is IP65 rated. Resistant to water, dust and
gases.
The XTR-RACK PRO is suitable for use at low temperatures (-20oC).
Dependable decoding
All FluidX readers use the same industry leading decoding
algorithm.
Simple to integrate
ODBC connectivity allows database integration.
Winsock connectivity provides instant integration.
Only one USB connection is required for both power and data.
No tube feature
Able to discriminate between a tube with a barcode that cannot
be decoded and a rack position with no tube.
The system will not attempt to decode empty tube positions and
data files are kept “clean” as wasted data entry is avoided,
leading to faster rack reading.
Optional integrated linear barcode reader.

Capable of tube picking, 2D reading, tube weighing, and liquid
handling using either a single fixed or disposable tip system. This
combined functionality provides an independent and stand-alone
picking and processing centre.

XTP-1152 Automated Tube Picker and Sorter (cont)
The XTP-1152 has the capacity to hold twelve 1.4ml tube racks, a small
footprint and the ability to handle large workloads, and includes the
following modules:
XYZ arm
The main arm carries the single channel sample processing unit, tube
gripper and linear bar-code reader.
Sample processing unit
The sample processing module consists of a precision 1.0ml syringe
and drive mechanism (volume range 1.0ul to 1000ul) which can be
linked to either a Teflon coated stainless steel probe or a tip nozzle
capable of accepting 250ul or 1000ul disposable tips.
Tube gripper
Capable of picking all standard 0.5ml, 0.6ml, 0.75ml and 1.4ml tubes
and cryo-vials. When used with the uncapping station, the tube
gripper is also able to uncap screw caps to allow access by standard
liquid handling tips.
Linear bar-code reader
For racks and micro-plate identification, suitable for use with most
racks and plate types.
Software incorporates “smart positioning” which allows the user to
place racks in any position, the XTP-1152 will identify the position and
process accordingly.
2D bar-code reading station
Will identify the 2D code on the base of each tube.
Based on the established X-Track reader hardware and software this
reader provides a very high read rate with all varieties of tubes. Tube
ID can be linked to a data-base using ODBC connectivity for a two-
way exchange of data.
Weigh station
A four position balance specifically designed for integration into
robotic systems to provide fast and accurate weighing (mg level).
Rack and tube holders
A variety of tube, rack, microplate, vial holders and adaptors are
available. Easily converted for either rapid change-over of racks
when handling large workloads or for flexibility to pick and sample
using a wide variety of racks, plates or tubes.
Wash station
To minimise carryover an active (pumped) washstation is provided.
PC based software
Includes database functionality and connectivity together with
ActiveX control. For application security a run-time module is
provided to allow applications to be run but not edited.
The FluidX XTP-1152 is a unique cherry picking and sample processing combination.

Applications
Cherry picking (tube or sample) de-fragmenting, re-arraying and
tare-weighting in preparation for dry compound addition.
As a sample processor this system is ideal for cherry picking, sample
transfer, reagent addition, serial dilution or assay preparation.
As a combination tube picker and sample processor the system
can automate processes that would otherwise require significant in-
tegration of separate systems.
