Barcode Used
On the host interface, sample identification consists of
two parts: order number and sample type.
Be aware that they are delivered in two separate fields
within the order ID, but are combined on the barcode.
If barcode reading is enabled, the order number has to be
part of the barcode.
Further, the sample type can either be specified by using
sample-type specific racks, or it also has to be a part of
the barcode.
q The barcode must not be shorter than the pattern
you specified.
