Description
Revolutionizing the handling of frozen samples stored in 2D-coded tubes, RITrack utilizes innovative radio-frequency tagging to eliminate the challenges posed by ice formation on tube and rack bases. RITrack tags are written with tube and rack information, fitted to SBS racks and can be read by either the RITrack Mirage reader or smartphone application for fast and simple sample tracking, even when tube codes are covered by frost.
Features: - Identify 2D codes with no line of sight
- Protect thermally sensitive samples by decoding frost covered tubes without warming or thawing
- Intuitive smartphone application for remote rack reading
- Unlimited re-writes on RFID tags
- Compatible with standard SBS racks to lower operational costs
Revolutionizing the handling of frozen samples stored in 2D-coded tubes, RITrack utilizes innovative radio-frequency tagging to eliminate the challenges posed when no line of sight is clear for 2D coded tubes, such as ice formation on tube and rack bases. With the ability to store identities for up to 96 tubes in a rack, it works seamlessly with cryotubes straight from the freezer, including vapor-phase LN2 storage, safeguarding thermally sensitive samples without requiring warming or thawing. Compatible with standard SBS racks, RITrack lowers operational costs, offering a cost-effective and durable sample tracking solution that enhances lab productivity.
As RITrack tags use standard RFID technology, they can also be read by any smartphone device with Near Field Communication (NFC). An easy-to-use app can be downloaded free from the App Store or Google Play to any compatible smartphone. The app allows the tag information to be read and the data displayed in either graphical or tabular format. This makes it easy to identify any individual tube in the frozen rack together with its location. Simply open the freezer, withdraw a rack and offer it up to the phone to see all the available tubes in that rack, eliminating the inefficiency of taking one or more cold racks back to the lab.
