One of ScanServer's standout features is the effortless reading of barcodes from SBS-format racks. What makes it even more remarkable is that it allows 2D-Barcoded sample scanning without the need to remove tubes from the rack. Imagine the time and effort saved, and the significant reduction in data entry errors!
