General Information
You can use the optional Clinitek Advantus handheld barcode reader to scan
barcoded labels that are adhered to the specimen tubes. You can also use it
to scan the color and clarity barcodes from the special card that is included
with the reader.
The software in the barcode reader automatically distinguishes between
barcode formats.
NOTE: You must configure the barcode prior to use.
