Barcode reports

Barcode reports are included in the Run Summary runs that use barcodes. It shows key performance metrics for each barcode included in the run.

The number of barcodes in the barcode report reflects the barcode set that was used in the run and the barcodes that are present in the sample. Data is included only for barcodes that are present in the run.

The barcode section of a run report displays the following information per barcode:
