Abstract
A rapid, reliable, and labor saving sample identification system that uses a bar code labeling technique to identify environmental samples is described. This system consists of a commercial bar code light pen and decoder board interfaced to a portable micro-computer. Sample logging, data entry, display, and manipulation are accomplished by using a series of custom designed program menus and data record formats created in dBASE III. This system is operational and was used at sea in conjunction with the NOAA National Status and Trends Program.
