This blood-drawing robot is more accurate than humans

Let us accept that not all lab technicians are skilled enough at drawing a blood sample. However, a new robot promises to make the job easier and more accurate.

Researchers at Rutgers University and Mount Sinai Hospital have developed a blood-sampling and testing device which uses ultrasound to identify the right vein before inserting a needle. It also includes a module that handles samples and a centrifuge-based blood analyser, Rutgers Today reports.
