The Zebra DS9908R is a high-performance hybrid imager specifically designed for the demanding workflows of clinical laboratories and pharmacies. It combines standard 2D barcode scanning with advanced UHF RFID reading/writing capabilities in a single, ergonomic device. Whether you are tracking specimen slides, blood bags, or medication vials, the DS9908R ensures seamless data capture and laboratory-grade reliability.
Core Benefits for Laboratory Environments
-
Hybrid RFID & Barcode Capture: Purpose-built to close the "RFID Gap" in labs. It reads 1D/2D barcodes and RFID tags simultaneously, increasing throughput and eliminating the need for multiple devices.
-
Superior "Scan-and-Go" Performance: Features a 800 MHz microprocessor and Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology for instant capture of high-density, small, or curved barcodes common on lab vials.
-
Built for Clinical Durability: Designed to withstand the rigors of a lab. The IP52-sealed housing protects against spilled liquids and dust, while the elevated electronics prevent damage from accidental leaks.
-
Switching Modes on the Fly: Seamlessly transition between handheld use and hands-free presentation mode. The capacitive touch sensor detects when the scanner is picked up, instantly adjusting settings for the user.
