Up to 68,2% of laboratory errors occur in the pre-analytical phase. Our practical guide shows you how to meet the requirements of the standard EN ISO 15189 — sample collection, transport and traceability — without disrupting your lab's processes.
Trusted by laboratories and diagnostic networks across Europe







Problems start at order entry, in sample non-conformities, in transport delays and in the lack of cold-chain control. Most are discovered only after analysis — too late to avoid repeats, clinical delays and extra costs.
Every sample has a digital fingerprint: S4DX follows it end-to-end, generating the data ISO 15189 requires at every step.
Unambiguous patient/sample identification and pre-analytical guidance, right from the request.
Record operator, date and time; the SmartTube starts monitoring temperature and shocks.
Temperature and times monitored in transit; alerts if integrity is compromised.
Automatic receipt, acceptance/rejection flags and end-to-end traceability through to the report.

An expert shows you how to reach ISO 15189 accreditation with S4DX — step by step, no commitment.
From collection to delivery in the lab, every sample is recorded, monitored and verified in real time. Full chain of custody.
A complete, auditable trail for every sample, ready for inspection and accreditation to EN ISO 15189:2022.
Fewer repeats and fewer hours spent chasing samples. A measurable, defensible turnaround time, backed by data.
Every clinical decision rests on a sample whose quality is verifiable from the first second. No ghost samples.
For every pre-analytical phase, S4DX generates the data and traceability the standard requires — audit-ready.
Patient preparation, sample type and container, timing and relevant clinical information.
Verification of patient identity, collection order, recording of operator, date and time.
Time between collection and receipt, specified temperature range, sample integrity.
Unambiguous traceability, acceptance and rejection criteria, date/time recording, handling of urgent samples.
“With the S4DX sample tracking system we save up to 6 hours a day of administrative work in our laboratory.
