Background: Pneumatic tube system (PTS) is a widely used method of transporting blood
samples in hospitals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the PTS transport in …

BACKGROUND Pneumatic transportation systems (PTSs) are increasingly used for
transportation of blood samples to the core laboratory. Many studies have investigated the …

Objective: The frequency of hemolysis of blood samples may be increased by transport in a
pneumatic tube system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pneumatic …

Introduction Pneumatic tube system (PTS) in hospitals is commonly used for the transport of
blood samples to clinical laboratories, as it is rapid and cost-effective. The aim was to …

Introduction Pneumatic tube systems (PTSs) are widely used in many hospitals because
they lead to reduced turnaround times and cost efficiency. However, PTSs may affect the …

Background Modern pneumatic transportation systems (PTSs) are widely used in hospitals
for rapid blood sample transportation. The use of PTS may affect sample integrity. Impact on …

Multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) is used to measure platelet function. Pneumatic tube
transport systems (PTS) for delivery of patient samples to a central laboratory are often used …

Abstract Background Pneumatic tube systems (PTSs) are convenient methods of patient
sample transport in medical centers, but excessive acceleration force and time/distance …

Introduction The pneumatic tube system (PTS) is an automated and fast modality of
transportation of biological samples, but it has been reported to induce preanalytical errors …

Background Transport of blood samples through pneumatic tube systems (PTSs) generates
air bubbles in transported blood samples and, with increasing duration of transport, the …
