CASE STUDY

MEDICAL SAMPLE DISTRIBUTION CHALLENGE:

A medical foundation needed a system to automatically sort and transport up to 20,000 test tubes daily. 'Standard' solutions did not give them the flexibility needed to efficiently and safely distribute medical samples from a single collection point to any of its 63 test laboratories.

THE VANPRO SOLUTION:

Vanpro engineers, working closely with the clinic and the manufacturer of the robotic sorting equipment, developed a comprehensive system for handling the wide variety of test tube shapes and sizes. The system includes:

• Injection-Molded Trays capable of holding test tubes ranging from 7mm to 17mm diameter. Multiple Trays can be bonded together to handle shipments to higher-volume laboratories.
• Thermo-Formed Racks for transporting multiple Trays in-house.
• Thermo-Formed Shipping Containers for transporting Trays and Racks to the main test facility.

With the help of the automated sorting system, the clinic expects 20-30% annual growth in the number of samples processed. Vanpro is proud to be part of their growth.
