In histology labs, 2D barcodes are primarily used for:
- Sample Identification: Each tissue sample is labeled with a unique 2D barcode that links it to its specific data in the laboratory information system (LIS). - Tracking: The journey of a sample from collection to analysis can be meticulously tracked using 2D barcodes. - Data Management: All relevant information about a sample, including its origin, processing steps, and results, can be stored and accessed via the 2D barcode.
