Olympus awarded seven-year MSC

Olympus UK has announced that Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust, which covers Hexham, Wansbeck and North Tyneside General Hospitals, has awarded a seven-year managed service contract (MSC) to Olympus Diagnostics. The MSC covers Olympus immunoassay, clinical chemistry and automation products, and process improvement analysis consultation and the refurbishment of new laboratory facilities. This MSC is the first order to include the new AU3000i immunoassay system – three of which have gone live at the trust.

The decision to award Olympus the MSC contract was taken based on the excellent track record for service and reliability that the company already had with the trust. “We have been using Olympus clinical chemistry analysers for seven years and Olympus’s support and understanding of laboratory issues is very reassuring,” commented Ron Harris, laboratory manager for the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust. “The quality and accuracy of Olympus systems also played a significant role in our decision-making process,” he said.

“Despite the fact that the AU3000i is very new to the market, we knew that we could rely on Olympus to support and provide us with a highly reliable frontline immunoassay system,” added Ron. “Going live has been smooth and the analytical performance in terms of sensitivity and accuracy is outstanding.”
