Evaluation of a fast single sample pneumatic tube system

CONCLUSION: Using a single sample PTS noticeably decreases transport time of samples. Acceleration forces acting on samples during transport do not impact the analytical results in a clinical relevant way. Relative differences between results are within the magnitude of the imprecision of the utilized assays. The overall workflow is improved considerably by decreasing hands on time on the ward and in the laboratory without impacting sample quality. Evaluation of a fast single sample pneumatic tube system
