I thought I would just post this email to remind users of troponin I and T
assays that we have been running a pilot EQAS for these two analytes for the
past 10 months. I would be especially interested to have some more Chiron
ACS180, Chiron Centaur or Dade Stratus users on the scheme. But anyone who
is using a troponin I or T assay, assuming they are not participants
already, would be welcome to join. It is currently free of charge!
INFORMATION ON THE TROPONIN EQA SCHEME.
A monthly distribution of three lyophilised samples.
Samples contain human serum spiked with troponin complex and troponin T at
various levels
to simulate those found in AMI patients. There will also be samples which
contain human serum alone.
A report will be included with each distribution.
If you are interested in joining the scheme please contact me by email:
[log in to unmask] or
phone: 0141 201 5631.
Please pass on this information to others who are not on the mailbase and
may be interested.
Best wishes,
