A laboratory barcode scanner is a specialised device used in laboratories to quickly and accurately read and decode barcodes on samples, reagents, and other materials. It streamlines the process of tracking and managing laboratory inventory, ensuring that data is recorded correctly and efficiently. By scanning barcodes, the device minimizes manual data entry errors and speeds up workflows, allowing for better organisation and more reliable data management. These scanners are essential in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of lab results and are commonly used in clinical labs, research facilities, and other scientific environments.
