The system recognizes 10 barcode symbologi which enables users to easily map details such as technician, food type, and dilution, rather than transcribing by hand. Results can be exported to a user's Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and other reporting tools. Additionally, it allows users to access results from multiple PC's that are connected to a company intranet.
