Biospecimen Integrity and Short-Term Analyte Stability after Pneumatic Tube Transport: Validation and Pressure Optimization of the TEMPUS 600 System in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Background: Pneumatic tube systems (PTS) reduce preanalytical delay but impose mechanical stress that can hemolyse specimens. We validated the TEMPUS 600 PTS at a tertiary hospital and sought an operating pressure that minimized transport-related hemolysis. Methods: Specimens wer...
