2D Barcode Reader

Encoding sample information as a barcode is a standard tool in laboratory automation

Almost every laboratory information management system (LIMS) offers the ability to generate barcode labels so that information can be easily and reliably exchanged between the LIMS and other data systems. Traditional 1D barcodes, which are widely used in the consumer goods sector, are limited to a small amount of information. 2D bar codes, on the other hand, can easily encode up to ten items with high recognition accuracy. Marking with this amount of information is possible even with small labels and thus even with 2 mL containers.
