South West London Pathology (SWLP) is introducing new biochemistry analysers to the laboratory at Croydon Hospital. Beckman Coulter Diagnostics analysers will replace the aging Roche equipment.
The analysers are scheduled to go live at the SWLP laboratory at Croydon Hospital on 30 September 2024.
The move to the new analysers will allow SWLP to provide a more reliable and consistent service, using the most up to date technology.
The introduction of the new equipment will mean that some of the biochemistry reference ranges will change.
Details of the tests affected, included the new reference ranges, can be found below:
Clinical biochemistry reference range changes at Croydon Hospital
The new reference ranges will also be included when results for affected tests are sent out.
While we expect the transition to be smooth, there may be some disruption over the go live period which could result in some delays to results going out. Further detail will be provided nearer the time.
