RoboSep Barcode Scanner

Built as a peripheral accessory for the RoboSep automated cell separation platform, this handheld imaging scanner reads Code 128 and Code 39 barcode labels affixed to EasySep reagent vials. When connected to a RoboSep-S or RoboSep-I instrument via USB, the scanner transmits reagent identification and lot data directly to the host software, enabling the system to load the correct separation protocol without manual entry. This traceability reduces transcription errors and supports compliance with cell isolation documentation in research use only workflows spanning immunomagnetic isolation of lymphocytes, monocytes, and progenitor populations. The lightweight wand-style housing rests in a tabletop stand when idle and tolerates repeated daily use in a cell culture laboratory. STEMCELL Technologies supplies the scanner as a single unit that integrates with the existing RoboSep touchscreen interface, allowing laboratories to swap or upgrade barcode-reading capability without replacing the main instrument. A clean lint-free work surface and periodic calibration against the included reference card help maintain reliable reads across thousands of vials during routine cell isolation runs.
