New Beckman Coulter analysers now live at Croydon Hospital

New Beckman Coulter analysers have successfully gone live in the South West London Pathology (SWLP) laboratory at Croydon Hospital. The installation of the analysers at Croydon is the first step of the rollout of a new managed service contract with Beckman Coulter, a global leader in clinical diagnostics. The new contract is for blood sciences services at all SWLP sites across the network, covering clinical chemistry, haematology, coagulation, serology and pre-analytical automation.

SWLP are working in partnership with Beckman Coulter to introduce their most cutting-edge technologies to SWLP blood sciences laboratories and to streamline workflows and processes to create one of the most advanced, innovative and efficient clinical blood science services in the country.

SWLP Managing Director Simon Brewer says, “The successful introduction of the Beckman Coulter analysers at Croydon Hospital marks our first step towards an exciting new future for our clinical blood science services. As we continue to introduce new analysers across our network, we will be able to push the boundaries of diagnostic services in this area. “I would like to thank everyone at SWLP, Beckman Coulter and partner organisations for all their hard work to support a successful go live. Your hard work and commitment to the best possible outcomes for patients has been evident throughout this project, and will no doubt continue as we continue to rollout the new technology across the SWLP network.”
