Is there a specific software you need to operate the DR700/DR710?

Yes. The DR700 and DR710 can both read and validate frozen racks of tubes.

The DR700 and DR710 rack readers use CCD imaging technology to capture the 2D Data-Matrix codes on the bottom of sample storage tubes. The DR700/DR710 side barcode reader also uses CCD imaging technology to capture 1D rack barcodes.

The DR700 and DR710 can scan a rack of tubes in 7 seconds or a single tube in 2 seconds.

The DR700 and DR710 rack readers can validate 2D Data-Matrix coded tubes. When paired with a matching side barcode reader, 1D rack barcodes can be scanned and validated as well.

Unlike the DR500, the DR505 has a passive anti-frost system that can be used to read frozen racks of tubes.

The DR500 and DR505 rack readers are compatible with 96-well, 48-well, and 24-well format tubes and racks from various brands.

The DR505 has a passive anti-frost system that can read racks of 2D coded tubes straight from the freezer.

The DR500 and DR505 rack readers can validate 2D Data-Matrix coded tubes. When paired with a matching side barcode reader, 1D rack barcodes can be scanned and validated as well.

The DR500 and DR505 rack readers use CIS imaging technology to capture the 2D Data-Matrix codes on sample storage tubes. The DR500/DR505 side barcode reader uses CCD imaging technology to capture 1D rack barcodes.

The DR500 and DR505 can scan a rack of tubes in 5 seconds or a single tube in 2 seconds.

The Micronic full-rack code readers work with the Micronic Code Reader Software.

The DR710 has an active anti-frost system that can eliminate condensation on the scanner plate. The DR700 has a passive anti-frost system that can read frozen tubes more easily.

The DR700 and DR710 rack readers are compatible with 96-well, 48-well, and 24-well format tubes and racks from various brands.
