Assemblies, systems, and methods are provided for using a chemistry cassette barcode to obtain information associated with the cassette. A barcode assembly for use with an analyte testing system includes a barcode affixed to the chemistry cassette, and the barcode assembly further includes a barcode reader mounted within a test console of an analyte testing system. The barcode includes information associated with the chemistry cassette, and the barcode reader is configured for scanning the barcode when the chemistry cassette is received within the test console. The barcode information can indicate a test panel contained within the chemistry cassette, e.g., the NIDA drugs-of-abuse test panel, a date of manufacture of the chemistry cassette, test calibration information, and/or information indicating whether the chemistry cassette has been previously used, e.g., a checksum code.
