Update sample barcodes directly from Biobank scanner output

[anthonyhorlock]

Is there a way that the rack barcodes could be updated directly from the file that is saved from the Biobank QR code scanner?

At the moment, I need to download the CSV file of the rack, manually update the barcodes, and then re-upload to LIMBUS. Could you take a look please?

I have attached an example file, for reference:

There's upload functionality within limbus for this.

Go into New Sample Rack and you'll find From File:

Then you'll be greeted with this:

Hi Keiron,

The format of the spreadsheet that is exported from the Biobank scanner is not compatible with this upload function.

As a result, to update the barcodes, I have to download the rack CSV and then manually copy across the barcodes from the Biobank scanner output. Then I re-upload the completed CSV file to update the barcodes.

Is there a way to change things so that LIMBUS can decipher the file from the Biobank scanner, to update the barcodes?

I'll investigate ASAP.

Which barcode scanner are you using now?

Thanks, Keiron!
