CR-Assist and the CIN Laboratory Management Information System (LIMS) are configured to work together to support CIN investigator’s sample procurement activities. Study coordinators can print sample collection tube labels from CR-Assist. Each label carries a barcode which uniquely identifies a specimen. After the sample has been collected and dropped off at a CIN processing lab, the barcode is ready to be scanned into LIMS which tells the system that a specific specimen has been received. To utilize this feature, a study coordinator must print the labels using a compatible printer on the correct label stock, and the labels should be scanned with a compatible scanner. Below summarizes the requirements.

Printer requirement

• A laser printer that is capable of printing at 1200 x 1200 dpi

• If the printer driver allows for economy vs. best quality setting, best quality setting should be used

• Some of the tested models are HP LaserJet 2605dn, HP LaserJet P3005, Konica bizhub c35, HP LaserJet P4014dn and HP LaserJet P2055. Additional compatible printer models are available upon request.

Label stock requirement
