Laboratory optimization

Microbiology laboratories must face major challenges:

• the growing scarcity of skilled technicians,
• greater pressure to provide faster results,
• an ever-increasing workload.

Lab efficiency is a key factor in meeting these challenges, since it can improve patient care and bring significant productivity gains.

The same challenges exist in the field of industrial microbiological controls: the rapid turnaround of results is crucial to ensure consumer safety, the smooth running of production operations, and the faster release of batches of finished products.

Why it’s important

• Laboratory efficiency is essential for reducing the time required to obtain results and optimizing productivity.
  
  • It enhances laboratory performance and the use of automated systems, enabling customers to make significant productivity gains.
  • It enables the optimization of resources, releasing technicians from repetitive tasks so that they can focus on tasks with higher added-value.
• Automation contributes to faster treatment decisions for patients and accelerated availability of pharmaceutical products for consumers.
