Even though these methods are effective, they are not easily scalable due to the costs of the process, requirement of a specialized instrument, time-consuming and the need of skilled operators.
This makes answering this instrument time consuming and unsuitable for people having low educational attainments as well as for questionnaire surveys that seek to measure several variables at a time.
Although HPLC, TLC, and more recently, ELISA are commonly used for AFM1 analysis, most of these methods involve expensive instruments and time-consuming [32].
Both methods have obvious (e.g., frequency-based measures take longer to complete and invoke more participant fatigue) and potential (e.g., contextualizing instruments is time-consuming and may affect psychometric properties) drawbacks that, in light of our findings, should give practitioners pause regarding the widespread implementation of either method for operational use.
Many of these instruments are time-consuming in its application, thus making it somewhat undesirable for use as a screening measure in most research studies with critically ill patients.
Furthermore, considering the expensive MRI instrument and time-consuming data acquirement and analysis, it is not suitable for routine embryo detection in industry either.
Its extensiveness offered a comprehensive overview of the older person's health and well-being, yet the instrument was time-consuming to administer.
Recognizing that completing a 70-item instrument was time-consuming and tedious for both students and preceptors, a subsequent phase of analysis tested whether a more streamlined instrument could be devised, and one which maximized the scales' differential abilities to discriminate between enhanced APPE and their traditional counterparts.
Administering and evaluating comparatively long screening instruments can be time-consuming and it may thus be difficult to implement them in busy clinical settings [ 17].
This issue should remind us of the criticism that was voiced at the use of the stethoscope after its invention almost 200 years ago, claiming that the instrument was too time-consuming and troublesome and that the newly found cardiac sounds would only distract a doctor.
