Transporting samples safely and touch-free

In hospitals and laboratories, transporting samples poses a critical challenge when it comes to infection control and hygiene. Manual transport increases the risk of contamination through direct contact and uncontrolled handling.

Automated systems can help here. For example, electric rail vehicles such as Telelift’s UniCar enable controlled, contactless transport along fixed routes within the facility. Samples are moved in closed containers, which reduces the risk of cross-contamination. An antibacterial coating on the vehicles offers additional protection.

Pneumatic tube systems such as Telelift UniTube offer a fast and hygienically sealed solution for transporting samples between stations and laboratories via pipes. The closed system minimizes contact with the environment and speeds up process chains. Pneumatic tube systems are particularly suitable for emergency and spontaneous transport and are a useful addition to the UniCar.

Overall, such automated systems can help to make sample transport routes safer, improve compliance with hygiene requirements and reduce the risk of infection.
