Using a Barcode to Specify the Sample Names
File
If your instrument is equipped with a barcode reader, the desired
Sample Names file can be specified by using the plate barcode in
the name of the Sample Names file. At run-time, the plate barcode
is read and then the barcode is used to read the corresponding
Sample Names file.
To use the plate barcode to specify the Sample Names file:
1
Decide on a location and file name format for the Sample
Names files. For example, the Sample Names files can be
named “Sample Names” followed immediately by the barcode
on the plate.
2
Create a temporary CSV file, using “%barcode%” as a
placeholder for the barcode string. For example, create a
temporary file named “Sample Names%barcode%.csv” and
save it in the location where the actual Sample Names files for
the runs will be saved.
