Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System and SDS Enterprise Database User Guide
The Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System includes two bar code
readers for data entry and plate recognition:
• A hand-held bar code reader for scanning plates manually
• A fixed-position bar code reader for automatically scanning plates as they are
loaded into the instrument (available only with the Automation Accessory)
Both bar code readers use a 670 nm Class II laser to scan plates and are capable of
reading Code 128 (alphanumeric), which supports 128 ASCII character bar codes.
