The PTL-Machine lets hospital staff do what they were hired to do; “running lab tests”. It works 24/7 and ensures that patients get quick and accurate results any time of the day. The machine increases efficiency in the lab by minimizing interruptions and manual handling of carriers and samples. Let the robots liberate your staff!
IN DEPTH
ABOUT
Two thirds of the information a physician needs to diagnose a patient comes from the laboratory, so why don’t we let the laboratory staff get back to running the tests, instead of handling incoming carriers from the pneumatic tube system and manually sorting samples for the pre-analytical steps.
The Graniten PTL machine receives carriers from the pneumatic tube system, opens, empties them and returns the empty carriers. The fully automatic machine sorts the sample tubes, using user defined criteria, into multiple output options, all without needing any manual input from staff.
The machine increases efficiency of the laboratory by minimizing interruptions and manual handling, thus allowing staff to focus on the diagnostic stages.
