Written byZiath

Two-dimensional barcodes are pretty neat! Not only can they store more data than linear barcodes, but because they’re located at the bottom of the tube, they can be quickly scanned without taking samples out of the rack. Their 2D design also means they’re inherently more resistant to scanning problems. But while 2D-barcoded tubes offer excellent all-round performance, from time to time scanning issues do happen
