Abstract:
A method of reading machine-readable labels on sample receptacles held by a sample rack. In the method, an absolute position of the sample rack is measured as the sample rack moves between first and second positions in a housing. During movement between the first and second positions, an image is acquired of a machine-readable label associated with each sample receptacle held by the sample rack. The image of each machine-readable label is thereafter decoded.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein measuring the absolute position of the sample rack comprises acquiring an image of an optical label on the sample rack as the sample rack moves between the first position and the second position.
