Do you know how to barcode samples correctly?

May 26, 2021

Barcodes must be placed vertically down sample tubes to allow the barcode to be scanned. Samples labelled any other way are not suitable for analysis.

Please see barcode labels on sample containers sheet for further details.

Sample collection in Unity: All successfully collected samples must be marked as “Collected” on Unity. If you do not mark the sample as “Collected,” pathology will not receive the request message in their laboratory system. This means that the colleague who has requested the bloods will not receive the results back in message centre.

Please see sample collection sheet for more information.
