Lab Specimen Transport Automation

Reliable, temperature-aware movement of specimens between collection points and the laboratory — protecting sample integrity, enforcing a digital chain of custody, and shortening turnaround for routine and STAT samples alike.

Why it matters

Faster turnaround, protected samples

Manual specimen runs are slow, inconsistent and hard to audit — and every delay or mishandling risks a re-collection. Automated transport keeps samples moving reliably, in the right conditions, with a record for every step.

  • Cut door-to-lab turnaround for routine and STAT samples
  • Preserve sample integrity with controlled conditions
  • Eliminate lost or unlogged samples with digital custody
  • Free phlebotomists and porters from constant courier runs

In the field

Deployed in real laboratories

From tertiary hospitals to regional labs, our specimen robots run daily routes between collection points, wards and the laboratory — quietly, consistently, and with a record for every tube.

Capabilities

Engineered for sample integrity

Temperature-aware compartments

Monitored and optionally refrigerated carriers keep specimens within range, with continuous condition logging end to end.

Shock-cushioned, smooth motion

Vibration-damped racks and gentle acceleration profiles protect fragile tubes and preserve sample quality.

Barcode / RFID chain-of-custody

Every pickup and drop-off is scanned and timestamped, producing a full, auditable digital chain of custody.

Prioritised STAT routing

Time-critical samples are automatically prioritised so urgent results are never held up behind routine transport.

Safe autonomous navigation

LiDAR + vision SLAM for reliable, obstacle-aware routing across collection points, corridors and floors.

LIS integration via open API

Sync custody and status with your LIS, trigger pickups by event, and pull records for QA and accreditation.

Configurable

Configured to your specimen workflow

Collection points, sample types, volumes, temperature needs and LIS environment differ by lab. We build the carrier mix, routing logic and integration that fit how your laboratory actually runs.

  • Carrier and rack design sized to your tube and container mix
  • Routing logic for multi-site or multi-floor collection
  • Cold-chain options for temperature-sensitive assays
  • Pilot on one route, then expand lab-wide
