Discrepancies between serum and heparin plasma samples have been described for many commercial troponin assays including the cardiac troponin T (cTnT) assay. Using the current 3rd generation Elecsys Troponin T immunoassay, heparin plasma cannot be recommended for the determination of cTnT due to systematic lower test results caused by a direct interference of the immunoassay by heparin. The purpose of the multicenter study was to evaluate the analytical performance of an improved 4th generation Elecsys Troponin T immunoassay with a special focus on the comparability of cTnT results determined in heparin plasma and serum.
