Surrey Pathology Services has a requirement to procure a diagnostic system for the analysis of troponin in blood at the point of patient care. There is a potential requirement for 9 separate bench top analysers across the 3 sites although this may initially involve placement of 6 analysers at the Royal Surrey County and Frimley Park hospitals, followed on by possible placement of 3 more at the St Peter's site.

Non-portable point of care testing devices are required that can accommodate the primary blood collection tube, involving no manual transfer or manual processing of the whole blood sample.
