This enrichment procedure allows for increased sensitivity, by analyzing a 5 10 fold larger volume of blood, compared with a direct immunocytochemical (ICC) technique, with minimal impact on laboratory workload.
The System for Informatics in the Molecular Pathology Laboratory was designed as a modular end-to-end information system to handle all stages of the NGS laboratory workload from test order to reporting.
An international system of laboratory workload measurement (Welcan) was used to estimate the workload and staff requirements of actual practice during the period [25].
The laboratory workload and available human resources at Bwaila Hospital are likely to be similar to those at other district hospital laboratories in Malawi and neighbouring countries [11], [26].
To limit study costs and laboratory workload resulting from the expanded eligibility criteria, every other patient with clinical pneumonia was approached for enrollment (Figure 2).
To quantify the likely impact of recent WHO policy recommendations regarding smear microscopy and the introduction of appropriate low-cost fluorescence microscopy on a) case detection and b) laboratory workload.
This served to reduce the laboratory workload during an outbreak.
Apparently, the screening approach might increase laboratory workload.
In addition, immunologists and clinical pathologists have to face the increasing laboratory workload observed in recent years.
In this case, not only the final number of useful markers would be considered, but also costs, time and laboratory workload.
