Barcoding

Barcoding for sample traceability

Barcodes are increasingly being used in laboratories for sample tracking and management, enabling laboratories to automate their processes to increase workflow efficiencies whilst also reducing occurrence of human error. DNA Genotek recognizes the importance of simplifying the tracking of samples and linking samples with consent and/or survey forms through to sample processing and long term storage.

To assist you with your sample management needs, DNA Genotek offers barcode options on Oragene, ORAcollect and OMNIgene collection products. DNA Genotek's standard format is a unique 1D linear (128C numeric format) consisting of 14 digits with matching human readable barcode. The Oragene 600 series has an additional option of a 2D barcode on the bottom of the tube for the most complex automated workflows.
