About

The 3CR Bio Whole Rack Barcode Scanner is built for laboratories that require fast, accurate, and reliable barcode reading for biological samples. Designed to read identification codes from the bottom of sample tubes, it can process an entire rack or a single tube in under 0.5 seconds, making it an ideal solution for high-throughput environments. 

Using a high-definition, camera-based imaging system, the scanner delivers sharp, clear images for precise decoding. When integrated with sample management software, it simplifies sample tracking, retrieval, and documentation, helping labs reduce manual errors and enhance automation. 

 

Fast, Accurate, and Versatile 

The 3CR Bio scanner is engineered for speed without compromising quality. Its advanced decoding algorithm processes both full-plate and single-tube scans in record time, making it suitable for busy laboratories. 

Key advantages include: 

  • Imaging and decoding in less than 0.5 seconds 
  • Reliable reading of damaged or low-contrast barcodes 
  • Optimized for high-throughput workflows 

 

Flexible Connectivity and Output 

With Type-C and USB 3.1 interfaces, the scanner is easy to connect and draws power directly from the USB data cable, no external power supply needed. Data output is designed for flexibility, supporting: 

  • Excel 
  • CSV 
  • Text 
  • TCP/IP 
  • ODBC 

This ensures seamless integration into existing LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and automation setups. 

Broad Compatibility 

The scanner works with SBS format QR code cryotubes and is compatible with: 

  • 24, 48, 96, and 240-format tube racks 
  • Racked sample tubes (2D and 3D coded) 
  • 384-well PCR plates 
  • GeneArrayer liquid handlers 

 

Compact, Automation-Ready Design 

With dimensions of 147 × 147 × 200 mm and a weight of just 1000 g, the scanner fits neatly on small workbenches and can be easily moved as needed. It supports TCP/IP remote control and can be integrated into automated production lines for hands-free operation.

MEET OUR TEAM

Steve Asquith Managing Director
Steve began his career in the Genetics Division of GlaxoSmithKline, as part of the team establishing GSK’s high-throughput core genotyping laboratory. Steve joined KBioscience when it was first founded in 2002 and was a key driver in taking the company from a small start-up to a multi-national service laboratory, quickly growing the company’s revenue to over $7.5M p.a. Following the acquisition of Kbioscience by LGC in 2011, Steve was appointed Global Director of Operations for LGC Genomics, responsible for over 100 staff in Europe and N. America, successfully elevating the genotyping products and service business. Steve held a crucial leadership role until he left in 2016. In 2017 Steve joined forces with John Holme to create 3CR Bioscience, a new company with a mission to deliver outstanding, customer-focused genotyping products with innovation and affordability at its core.
Dr. John Holme Technical Director
John joined KBioscience shortly after it was founded, in 2003, and became Head of Technical Development, building the company’s genotyping and DNA extraction product portfolio and service delivery until 2011 when it was acquired by LGC. Post-acquisition, John was appointed Head of Technical Group for LGC Genomics, in charge of all Research & Development and Technical Support activities for the company. In this role John continued to build on the high-quality products and services provided to the companies growing customer base. During the 19 years John has worked in commercial R&D, he has co-invented numerous highly successful products including PACE®, ProbeSure, KASPâ„¢, KlearKall, KlearGene, KlearAmp and KlearTaqâ„¢, creating breakthrough offerings in genotyping and extraction and generating huge revenues for the companies he has worked in. In 2017, he joined forces with Steve Asquith and started 3CR Bioscience. John is dedicated to developing outstanding, innovative genotyping products and providing the very best technical support to customers globally.
Dr. Nisha JainOperations Director
Nisha has been innovating since the start of her career at Geneform Technologies developing Iso-thermal Genotyping Technologies. Nisha joined KBioscience in 2008, as Senior R&D Scientist and key account Technical Support Scientist, developing KASP and Klearkall performance and coinventing two further versions of KASP. Nisha has more than 15 years’ experience working in molecular biology and genotyping technologies, with extensive experience in the areas of R&D, Quality Assurance and Customer Technical Support.

Jon Curtis Non-Executive Chair
After 8 years in The Royal Air Force, Jon moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund where he pioneered the use of ultra high-throughput genomic automation, capable of 46,000 PCRs per hour. In the 1990’s Jon joined GlaxoSmithKline, implementing a high-throughput genomics platform into their drug discovery pipeline. Whilst there he also developed acoustic mixing into compound management, becoming the gold standard across pharma. Jon developed the world’s first commercially viable 1536-well PCR plates, automated thermal & laser plate-sealer, plus automated liquid-handling & tip washing tools to reduce waste and costs. In 2002 Jon co-founded KBioscience with Phil Robinson, utilising ultra high-throughput PCR instrumentation & a suite of automation tools to create the company’s SNPline robotic platform, with a capacity of 250,000 PCRs/day. The business was underpinned by their ground-breaking patented genotyping chemistry, KASP™, which has over 10,000 scientific papers to date. In November 2022 Jon joined 3CR Bioscience acting as an advisor bringing his commercial and scientific experience to the company.
