Precision made effortless with the Micronic DT520

Fast. Accurate. Plug & Play

In modern laboratories, time is everything. That is why Micronic has developed the Tube Reader DT520, a compact yet powerful code reader designed to help researchers move faster without compromising accuracy. This powerful device combines a sleek, space-saving design with advanced scanning technology to make single tube and rack identification easier than ever.

The DT520 reads both 1D rack barcodes and 2D Data-Matrix tube codes in under one second, with no software installation required. Just plug it in via USB, position your tube or rack, and watch as the DT520 instantly captures and transfers your data. Thanks to its keyboard wedge functionality, the scanned codes appear directly in your software of choice, exactly where your cursor is. No extra steps, no delays.

DT520 by Micronic: Built for speed, designed for simplicity

What sets the Micronic Tube Reader DT520 apart isn’t just its performance, but the commitment to quality Micronic offers. Every Tube Reader is manufactured and assembled in-house at the Micronic facility, located in the Netherlands or the USA. From design to production, each unit is built to deliver long-term durability, backed by a 5-year warranty.

Inside the packaging of the DT520, you’ll find everything you need to get started right away: the DT520 itself, an accompanying USB cable, and a quick start guide to walk you through setup in minutes. It’s a true plug-and-play solution, designed to save time from the very first use.
