How do I properly label and barcode a blood sample tube?
Label each submitted specimen tube with the patient's name exactly as it appears on the Lab Form or Test Request Form. Barcodes must be affixed longitudinally on the tube, keeping the barcode number to the left without any folds or alterations. Do not use ink or write by hand directly onto the barcode label (Page 10).
