Ziath has introduced a new version of DP5 - its versatile web-based software product that allows scientists to directly read 2D-barcoded tubes at the point of sample storage or retrieval. In modern laboratories, samples are typically stored in large -80°C freezers, liquid nitrogen tanks or fully automated stores that are often inconveniently situated in an outbuilding or a basement. DP5 digital sample management tools allow technicians to quickly and accurately log sample identity at the point of storage or retrieval.

The new version of this web-based software tool includes a host of features designed to streamline the collection of tube information for subsequent processing in inventory management software, such as Ziath's popular Samples program. Designed to run on Ziath's popular camera-based 2D barcode scanners - the Mirage, Express and the Cube - DP5 provides visual confirmation of tube identity and individual tube image inspection.
