Machine Vision & Bar Code Reading Solutions for Life Science Applications
Manufacturers throughout clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, and medical device industries require 100% data integrity and extremely reliable components that are small enough fit into their systems. Whether reading specimen tubes, reagent containers, or microtiter plates, instrument manufacturers depend on the highest levels of performance and reading flexibility, with minimal integration effort. As the #1 global provider of embedded bar code scanners and imagers for life sciences, Microscan specializes in embedded identification and inspection applications, and designs custom products to meet our customers’ stringent needs.

Data Acquisition and Control Solutions
We help manufacturers around the world drive down cost and waste, automate critical manufacturing processes, and increase yields though data acquisition and control solutions. From clinical diagnostics instruments to drug discovery and lab automation, Microscan solutions enable critical production level applications such as quality control, work-in-process monitoring, guiding the movement of goods, component traceability, sortation, and lot tracking.
Precision
Microscan products are precision instruments. From tasks such as high speed bar code reading to high accuracy orientation, placement and coordinate checking through machine vision, Microscan products reliably perform complex data acquisition in any life sciences application.
Technology Leader
Microscan has a strong history of technology innovation. We revolutionized the automatic identification (auto ID) industry in the early 1980s with the invention of the first laser-diode bar code scanner, and with the invention of the 2D symbology, Data Matrix. We pioneered the machine vision industry with our advanced vision and lighting products. Today, Microscan continues to be a recognized technology leader through continuous new product development in the areas of machine vision and auto ID.
