Addressing these issues helps to reduce laboratory waste, saves resources, and increases the overall efficiency of laboratory operations. Identifying weaknesses or areas for improvement in the testing processes, optimizes workflow and use of resources plus reducing the risk of errors reduces the need to repeat test.
