TUBE ADAPTERS

Round-bottom tube adapters can be used for:
2mL (10.25mm X 47 mm) or
3mL (10.25 mm X 64 mm) sample tubes.
You can use a maximum of two labels in
r
addition to the sample tube
manufacturer' s label.
Place each label so that it does not cover
r
the bottom of the tube and is flat and
smooth against the tube. This prevents
the adapter from being broken or
jammed.
Ensure that the bar-code symbol and a
r
1/4-inch blank space "quiet zone" on
either side of the bar-code symbol are
visible through the read slit
you insert the tube into the adapter.
If the entire bar-code and "quiet zones"
r
do not fit within the read slit, the
number of data digits that can be read
from your bar-code label may be
reduced. In this case, read the bar-code
label before you put the tube in the
adapter then cycle immediately.
