The vast majority of modern barcodes fall into 2 basic categories – linear (1D) and 2-dimensional (2D). Some people mistakenly refer to 2D barcodes as 3D barcodes and while 3D barcodes do exist, they are generally never seen and used in life sciences. Linear (also known as 1D or 1-dimensional) barcodes encode data using vertical bars and …
