Immunologic studies of blood samples transported by a pneumatic tube system

The authors evaluated the suitability of using a pneumatic tube system for transport of patient blood samples to a hospital blood bank. Hemolysis and occasional reduction in serum antibody reactivity were found in some clotted blood samples after tube transport. Modifications would be necessary to m...

Summary:The authors evaluated the suitability of using a pneumatic tube system for transport of patient blood samples to a hospital blood bank. Hemolysis and occasional reduction in serum antibody reactivity were found in some clotted blood samples after tube transport. Modifications would be necessary to make the system acceptable for routine blood bank use.
