    "description": "The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) has prepared this Commercial Prospectus to set out\nthe opportunity and terms for a partner to license our Intellectual Property (IP)– a proprietary radio-frequency identification (RFID) enabled pathology tracking system (‘The Product’). The Product has \nbeen deployed at LTHT and successfully enhanced the current, in situ, sample management/tracking \nsystem. LTHT is now able to precisely locate each and every RFID It issample in the pathology\nworkflow. Misplaced or lost samples are now confined to history. The Product permits a more \nefficient and effective service which is better for our patients, better for clinical teams and better for \nlaboratory staff. \nThe Field of use is limited to Pathology (including but not limited to Histopathology, Biochemistry, \nImmunology, Haematology, Microbiology, Transfusion, Transplant Immunology, and Mortuary \nservices). LTHT retains the IP for use outside this Field.\nThe Prospectus has been issued to potentially interested parties to explain the Trust’s approach to \nselecting a partner for the commercialisation of the Product with a view to accelerating its adoption \nacross pathology services.",
