Definition: The use or consumption of feature provided by a laboratory specimen barcode labelling system (LBLS). The LBL system supports the robotisation of specimen container identification and delivery at blood sample collection time, in the context of laboratory test requests. Source: Techopedia Source reference: https://www.techopedia.com/definition/123/laboratory-barcode-labelling-system-lbls Additional information: The LBLS is a critical tool for laboratories, especially those dealing with a high volume of samples. It eliminates manual errors and speeds up the process of sample identification and tracking. The system generates unique barcodes for each sample, which can be scanned to retrieve all relevant information about the sample. This includes details such as the sample type, collection date, patient information, and test results. The LBLS can be integrated with other laboratory information systems for seamless data exchange. It also supports compliance with regulatory standards by providing a reliable audit trail of all sample handling activities. Example: In a clinical laboratory, the LBLS can be used to label blood samples. The barcode on each sample links to the patient's medical record, ensuring accurate patient identification and reducing the risk of mix-ups. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3272117/ In a research laboratory, the LBLS can be used to label and track various types of samples, such as tissue samples, DNA samples, and cell cultures. This facilitates efficient sample management and data retrieval. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212066115000026 LOST view: TVA-Health Laboratory Enablers [Motivation] Identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/egovera/LaboratoryBarcodeLabellingSystemApplicationService EIRA traceability: eira:DigitalSolutionApplicationService ABB name: egovera:LaboratoryBarcodeLabellingSystemApplicationService EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock Last modification: 2023-08-20 dct:identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/egovera/LaboratoryBarcodeLabellingSystemApplicationService dct:title: Laboratory Barcode Labelling System (LBLS) Application Service
