Let lab professionals focus on science—not spreadsheets. Track samples with RFID
Sample tracking with the help of RFID ensures no sample gets lost, tracks chain-of-custody and records all actions thoroughly.
A short introduction to RFID-based Sample Tracking
A digitized sample management process frees lab staff from manual registration. Our RFID solution tracks the sample at key workflow checkpoints from sampling to disposal ensuring chain-of-custody.
Turck Vilant Systems Sample Tracking Solution
Precision and efficiency are paramount in laboratory environments. Traditional methods of sample tracking are often labor-intensive and prone to errors that may cause severe consequences, such as samples returning to production, putting quality at risk.
RFID technology automates the sampling process by introducing automated read stations that register the sample and the operator handling it. All actions are recorded with virtually no touch from the laboratory staff, leaving them free for more productive tasks
When RFID is used for sample tracking we can ensure accurate temperatures and monitor the chain of custody. End-to-end sample workflow with RFID starts from tagging the specimen and always assigning a physical location for it, and ends with tracking the disposal of the sample. As a result, creating a transparent and traceable sample journey
Turck Vilant Systems Solution for Sample Tracking
- Designates an RFID tag for each sample to give them a unique identity
- Tracks the sample at key workflow checkpoints from sampling to disposal
- Records key data such as operator, location and status
- Offers reporting on sample level and of chain-of-custody
A Step-by-Step Approach to Sample Tracking
Each medical sample is assigned a unique RFID identity and automatically tracked at key points, such as desktop readers or sampling areas. The system logs all movements, maintains chain-of-custody, ensures regulatory compliance, and eliminates manual errors. By digitizing sample handling, healthcare providers improve patient care, reduce costs, and ease administrative workload.
