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
