Top is correct. The number matches to a document that has all the relevant info.
one small integer is not enough, two small integers are better (lab journal initials/number and sample number, like AC7-295. something like AC7-295A, then AC7-295B and so on if needed. that's how i do it anyway) this way there's no possibility of mixup with other people's samples and samples described in old lab journals
Some way to identify the person who wrote it is also helpful. Different cultures write numbers differently.
The French person reads the top one as 1 , 2, 3.
The American reads it as 7, 2, 3.
Don't let propaganda fool you!!!
This is a real seven:
After much debate over copious drinks at the bar, we finally decided to settle the argument with darts.
0 are all crossed.
1's are written as l
7's are all crossed.
And 9's... Well we got kicked out and it was never settled. How was I supposed to know the nickname Nicky sounds like the French word "Niquer" and somebody (Nicolas) got all bent out of shape over it. "Hey Nicky it's your turn!" apparently was not well received by a drunk frenchman.
speaking of, at least it's using latin alphabet. Good luck making sense of Thai handwriting smudged by acetone especially if you're not a speaker
