The effect of multiple analysers on the biochemical diagnosis of myocardial infarction using a contemporary troponin-I assay

Conclusions
We demonstrate that there are significant differences between the performances of analysers which can impact the biochemical criteria for the diagnosis of MI. We also show that the RCV varies according to baseline cTn-I values and that reporting a single RCV across the analytical range of cTn-I may not be appropriate.
