Abstract
A method of sample processing that includes a step of prompting, at a user interface of a sample processing instrument, a user to enter a user input based on first information transmitted from an RFID transponder disposed on a receptacle holder within the sample processing instrument. The user input indicates second information about the receptacle holder. The method of sample processing further includes a step of receiving, at the user interface of the sample processing instrument, the user input. The Method of sample processing further includes a step of processing, using the sample processing instrument, a sample based on the user input.
