Given the variety of 2D coded tubes on the market, Perception™ is designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, reading any 2D coded sample tube currently on the market, not only those supplied by FluidX
Designed and developed entirely with the end user in mind, the FluidX Perception™ HD LF offers fast identification of large format and SBS-format racked, 2D-coded sample storage tubes, without the need to remove tubes from racks
Using advanced camera-based imaging systems, Perception™ readers are ideal for more challenging applications and environments, such as integrating into robotic systems, cold environments or when speed and size of reader are important
Perception™ readers form the backbone of many sample storage and tracking systems, for applications including biobanks, compound libraries and other high-throughput storage environments
An integrated multi-position linear barcode reader is available for the simultaneous reading of rack linear 1D barcodes
Perception™ is supplied with a 5-year warranty

Advanced camera-based systems for more challenging applications, such as integration into robotic systems
Also ideal for cold store and low temperature environments and where speed and small footprint are important

A gripper cutout section around the scan window to enable easy robotic handling of shallow racks
Small footprint, barely larger than the rack itself, aiding greater compatibility with automated systems including liquid handling

Used in conjunction with FluidX IntelliCode™ software offer the most advanced data export options available
Easy integration with database sample tracking and LIMS systems
Compatible with MS Word templates, with powerful design and formatting capabilities to create customized reports

Capable of reading both tube and rack 2D-codes simultaneously, to provide automatic rack orientation and greater sample security
FluidX storage tube racks can be supplied with the option of carrying a unique 2D-code identifier

Integrated multi-position 1D linear barcode reader helps to simplify robotic integration
Ideal for decoding more challenging (non-FluidX) linear barcodes and provides rack orientation

Custom rack profiles can be set up for the regular use of routine, saving set-up time
Example: empty rows or control tubes in specific positions

Using either built-in, or customized rack profiles, IntelliCode™ software will automatically determine which rack type is being read
Software will select the appropriate rack profile for decoding and exporting tube data
Switch between large format or 24, 48, 96, 240 and 384-format racks without making any changes to Perception™ readers or IntelliCode™ software

Able to discriminate between a tube with a code that cannot be decoded, and an empty rack position
Will not decode empty tube positions, so data files are kept clean
Decoding speed is optimized as wasted data entry is eliminated
