Anas Nasir: A Free Barcode Generator for Transfusion Training
Anas Nasir, Training Lead (Pathology) at Magentus, reposted from Only Cells on LinkedIn:
”Transfusion trainers, practitioners and LIMS specialists and testers. I’ve created a free Only Cells blood component barcode generator tool to help you design, test, and validate transfusion scenarios without photocopying or scanning another red cell unit from the fridge or a bag of plasma from the freezer.
If you are looking for a simple, quick way to get realistic, compliant blood component barcodes for your next training session or LIMS testing cycle, please take a look and share it with your colleagues!”
Qutoing Only Cells‘s post:
”If you’re a Transfusion Trainer or LIMS specialist, you know the drill: the constant struggle of preparing realistic, compliant blood component units for essential training and system testing.
You’ve scraped ice off frozen products, vigorously wiped down photocopier glass, cut out images, and laminated them, only to watch them expire a few days or weeks later, forcing you to repeat the laborious cycle.
The Solution is Here: The Only Cells Blood Component Barcode Generator
I’ve built a lightweight, web-based tool that eliminates the manual burden, allowing you to generate perfectly compliant and scannable blood component labels instantly.
No more messy paperwork. No more out-of-date photocopies. Just validated, digital units ready for use.
Why This Tool is Essential for Training:
- Guaranteed Compliance: the generator produces barcodes that adhere strictly to the ISBT 128 standard, including correct formatting for Donation ID, Blood Group, Expiry Date, and, crucially, mathematically validated checksums for accurate LIMS testing.
- Instant Scannability: Barcodes can be scanned directly from your screen during simulation, or the generated image can be downloaded for printing or incorporating into training documentation.
- Dynamic Flexibility: Simply input your desired unit number, blood group, component code, and expiry date. The tool instantly renders the complete, realistic component label overlay.
