SNBTS sites also support a number of remote and rural hospital sites both by testing patient samples and /or through the implementation of SMART fridge technology.  Within the contract period it is a strategic objective for SNBTS patient services labs to host SMART fridges on 4 of the five sites, Edinburgh, Dundee, Inverness and Aberdeen\nIndicative numbers of samples per annum by each centre are as follows:\nEdinburgh – 61,000 samples\nGlasgow –  2,800 samples\nDundee – 39,000 samples\nInverness – 18,000 samples\nAberdeen –  51,000 samples\nA range of patient samples including paediatric, and monoclonal therapy patients are referred for serological investigation by automated and manual testing; tests performed are:\n-   ABO RhD and K\n-   IAT screening (triple screen)\n-   DAT\n-   Antibody ID panel\n-   Serial titrations\n-   Phenotyping\nTesting is primarily performed on patient’s EDTA plasma samples but serum samples may also be used on some occasions.  Equipment/assays must be validated for EDTA/serum sample types.\nThe requirements of SNBTS are complex in that manual techniques in addition to fully automated systems for screening and investigation are required for all assays.  Suppliers must be in a position to provide appropriate peripheral equipment and instrumentation to support manual testing.\nThe five SNBTS Clinical laboratories provide comprehensive, 24 hours per day Blood Banking Services to their host hospitals. Reference work is undertaken for other hospitals in each area. The laboratories vary considerably in size, throughput and the range of tests performed. Thus the equipment needed at each site must be tailored to each laboratory’s needs but yet deliver single system working across SNBTS wherever possible.\nSNBTS would expect that customer support would be available during the laboratories core operating hours of 9.00am – 17.00pm, Monday – Friday, any proposed solution must ensure a robust level of resilience to maintain continuous service delivery to our users on each site."

Time of testing each day is also variable.\nCurrent testing is performed and reported against red book recommendations.\nDonation Testing hours of operation are as follows:\nWorking day - 07:00am hours to 16:00pm hours Monday to Sunday (inclusive)\nSNBTS would expect that customer support would be available during the laboratories core operating hours of 9.00am – 17.00pm, Monday – Friday, any proposed solution must ensure a robust level of resilience to maintain continuous service delivery to our users on each site."
