How do I use a barcode scanner to input my sample IDs into KeyLAB?
A set of samples can be selected by scanning a barcode on the sample import and the sample manager sections of KeyLAB
Bar code scanners should be set so that they pass the code scanned followed by the return key.
On importing AGS data you can set the cursor in the sample box as shown below and then scan the sample. If the sample ID is recognised then the sample will be selected in the list. If the sample is not in the list the box will be highlighted red.
Within the sample manager you can set the cursor in the sample box as shown below and then scan the sample. If the sample ID is recognised then the sample will be selected in the list. If the sample is not in the list the box will be highlighted red. Once the complete set of samples has been selected you can apply any of the actions covered by the buttons to the left of the scan box to the selected samples.
