Recipients of this new initiative will obtain the following services: - weekly newsletter which contains information on the most recent changes, achievements, problems, etc. in the environmental protection field - access to forum where environmental subjects and technology are discussed - participation in the creation of new journal which in five editions will address technological and regulatory needs of environmental improvement - information on relevant books and other sources of information Recipients of Newsletter can always discontinue its delivery by selection of unsubscribe option or by sending e-mail with Remove in the subject to myenvironment@interlog.com . We hope to have your active participation in this new initiative to DISSEMINATE data-based knowledge helpful in improvement of current state of environment. --- From EFvanHarskamp at yahoo.com Wed May 8 09:59:58 2002 From: EFvanHarskamp at yahoo.com (Edward van Harskamp) Date: Mon Mar 7 06:30:51 2005 Subject: hospital searches for sample transport system Message-ID: <3CD7EA3D.9B9EAF57@yahoo.com> A big academical hospital in the Netherlands is looking for a large volume(scale) sample transport system, that transport automatically samples to all kinds of analysers and preparation machines. From the preparation machines the samples will be transported to one or more analysers. This transporting will be done horizontally, in at liest one laboratory. The samples will be analysed on the right things on the right analysers. The data will be neatly administrated in a computer. The analysers are from different brands. In case it is possible to transport samples to more than one lab, like laboratory specialised in different field(analytical clinical chemistry lab, viralogical- and bacterial lab, etc.) we like to know? we are interested in vertical sample transport as well, because are labs are situated on four floors above each other . Does such a horizontal sample transport system already exist? If yes, could you give us some information on such a system? Does a combination of an integrated vertical/horizontal sample transport system exist. If yes, could you give us some information on such a system? In by both questions we are interested the following Information: ? Brands/addresses? ? Volume of samples that can be transported on the system? ? Processing speed? ? Accuracy ? ? Reliability? ? Frequency of maintenance? ? Price of system? ? Software it?s running ? Etc.? If not such machines exist, are there company?s that want to make such a system? Don?t forget there is a market for such machines. Because analyses in a modern hospital lab hardly differentiate from hospital to hospital.
