Brief summary

The transport of biological samples is a key step in the pre-analysis process in health facilities and must meet quality requirements (NF:EN:ISO 151989) to ensure that samples are transported in are transported in good conditions. Still in the experimental stage, drone-based air transport is participating in the aeronautical revolution of the development of unmanned aircraft on board in all areas of society, including health. This first project, led by the Biology Centre and the INNOVABIO Biological Resources Centre of the CHU de CAEN in collaboration with the company Delivrone, will allow to evaluate the feasibility in real condition of the mode of transport by drone versus transport of reference on the quality of a varied panel of medical biology examinations (biochemistry, hematology and haemostasis), on the safety of people (potentially infectious samples), on the control of the delivery time, on the control of the transport temperature (15-25°C ). The samples will be taken on 30 healthy volunteers with a total panel of 23 blood tests performed.

Detailed description

Panel of blood tests performed on healthy volunteers samples include : * Na, K, Cl, HC03- * total protein * Ca * Creatinine, urea * Albumine * Bilirubin * Liver transaminases (ALT, AST) * Alkaline phosphatase * GGT * LDH * C-reactive protein * Complete Blood Count * Sedimentation rate * PT * aPTT * Fibrinogen * D-Dimer
