Automated Sample Tube Sorting System for Diagnostic Centers
摘要
In today’s healthcare systems, diagnostic laboratories are essential for effective patient care and disease management. Among the most common procedures is blood sample testing, which requires careful handling and accurate sorting. Traditionally, this sorting is done manually, which can lead to errors and delays. To address this issue, an automated system designed to sort blood sample tubes based on their cap colour and barcode. The system uses a camera to detect the necessary information and then directs the samples into appropriate categories using a motorized conveyor and sorting mechanism. By reducing the need for human intervention, the system increases accuracy, speeds up the sorting process, and provides a cost-effective and modular solution suitable for use in diagnostic centers. By Automating Sample Tube sorting in Diagnostic Centers, Turnaround Time (total time taken from the moment a sample is collected to the time when the test result is available to the patient) can be significantly reduced and results can be published much faster.
