The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is using two STA-R Evolution analysers from Stago to provide fully automated coagulation testing throughout West Cheshire.
Kathleen Holden, a senior biomedical scientist in blood sciences, explained: “Five years ago we combined our haematology and biochemistry teams to create a multi-skilled blood sciences section. Automation of our workflow to give us the capacity to cope with an ever-increasing workload was a key aspect of this re-organisation, and Stago’s STA-R Evolution analyser offered the best fit for our coagulation needs.
“Our two STA-R Evolution platforms – alongside a semi-automated STart platform – offer straightforward, user-friendly operation for our multidisciplinary team.”
