G'day all
 
With the availability of the 'ultra' sensitive Troponin T assays, what are punters views on reporting units ?
 
"Traditional" units are µg/L, but that now means reporting in 3 decimal places.
 
Have many folks changed to ng/L resulting in whole numbers.
Will report back consensus if one exists. Should this be done fomally by the EQAS schemes ?
 
 

with best wishes

Richard
