We are a 248 bed, not-for-profit facility, with 45,000 emergency department visits per year and a well-established chest pain center. Beckman Counter’s Automation and 12-minute AccuTnl Troponin allow us to provide consistent results both in terms of accuracy and timeliness. Troponin the corner-stone of chest pain assessment-where lost tome means lost heart muscles.

Quality assays and automated processes support an expanding role for the laboratory, enabling rapid decision making and risk stratification on a patient-by-patient basis. All of this contributes to better patient care. Reliable and rapid lab results helped us here at KT Mather improve the triaging of our patients, saving our Institution $1.8M in a single year.
