for Clinical and Translational Research
Accelerate discovery and maintain uncompromised sample integrity with Atreo’s advanced pneumatic tube system transport networks for medical research environments.
Challenges in Research Logistics
Addressing the Complexity of Modern Research Operations
As medical research expands in scale and complexity, traditional logistics introduces critical bottlenecks.
Sample Integrity and Stability
Ensuring that the pneumatic transport system does not compromise the integrity of sensitive samples (e.g., blood, tissue, chemicals) due to vibration, pressure changes, or temperature fluctuations.
Latency in Sample Transport
Manual or batch-driven courier systems delay time-sensitive sample processing and analytics. This highlights the need for a pneumatic tube system to expedite delivery.
Variable Throughput Demands
High-frequency studies and collaborative projects outpace the capabilities of outdated systems.
System Integration
Seamless integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and other digital infrastructure to automate workflows and improve efficiency.
Risk of Pre-analytical Error
Each manual handoff increases the risk of hemolysis, cross-contamination, or sample misplacement.
Contamination Control
Preventing cross-contamination between samples, especially when transporting hazardous or infectious materials. This includes cleaning protocols and the use of sealed carriers.
Regulatory Compliance
Adhering to relevant standards and regulations for sample transport, biosafety, and data security.
Regulatory and Chain-of-Custody Compliance
Funding, accreditation, and publication depend on robust, auditable specimen traceability.
