Transport
The laboratory has worked in partnership with QE Facilities to modernise and innovate the sample transport system to ensure that sample integrity is maintained and optimised:
- Optimised the routes so that no run is longer than 4 hours
- Introduced transport vehicle tracking
- Introduced sample bag tracking
- Introducing environmental monitoring with alerts
- Piloting the use of sample racks for transporting individual samples to reduce the use of plastics and paper.
