information can be scanned.
• Lot information for BD FACS 7-color setup beads is scanned into the
Setup Lot Information dialog from the setup values label supplied with
the setup bead kit (NOT from the lot number on the setup bead tubes).
See Entering Lot Information with the Barcode Reader on page 53.
• Patient information is scanned from sample labels into the worklist ID
field.
4 Locate the barcode on the setup values label of BD FACS 7-color setup
beads kit, or on the patient sample.
Tip To make it easier to use, an optional stand is available for the barcode
reader. See Barcode Reader Parts on page 229.
For accurate results, do not photocopy or enlarge the barcodes that are
included with the reagent. Scan the barcodes exactly as they are provided.
