Product news

Ziath is pleased to announce the launch of a major new version of its ground breaking 2D barcode scanning software; DataPaq. This new software offers several new features including intuitive direct database loading of results to all database vendors (next-generation from ODBC) and XML exporting.

Further features include:

• Keyword replacement in output files
• XML output
• Date, time and barcode replacement in filename for driverless integration mode
• Remote interface system configuration retrieval
• Live settings update

The same super easy to use ‘single-click’ for any make, any model of tube is there; along with the new features which further enhances DataPaq’s outstanding usability to remove scanning headaches and drastically reduce training requirements.

Full Details

DataPaq is a leading barcode scanning product to scan 2D barcoded racks for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical and other industries. With zero configuration, DataPaq can scan Matrix, AbGene, Micronic, FluidX, Matrical, Remp (including coloured samples) and more. If you are new to barcoded sample tracking or an expert; DataPaq will fulfil all your scanning requirements. The A6-sized scanner is currently our most popular product. It offers easy set up, straight out of the box, and with only a few minutes needed for configuration, you’ll be ready to start scanning in no time at all. A one-time automatic calibration means that you’ll then be set up and ready to read any and all tubes. For integration to automated platforms or LIMS two methods are available to allow either simple driverless integration or sophisticated client-server based integration.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling. Find the best fluorescent labeling reagents, cellular assays, and high-content imaging systems in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.Electronic Laboratory NotebooksElectronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) are becoming increasingly popular for documenting experimental processes and for lab data management. An ELN is informatics software which can be biology specific, chemistry specific, cross-disciplinary or web-based. Advantages of an electronic lab notebook include increased data protection, efficiency and straightforward data searching and sharing.
