Abstract

Clinical diagnostic laboratories continue to face growing pressure from rising test volumes, increasingly complex testing menus, significant workforce shortages, and expectations for faster turnaround times at sustainable cost. Total laboratory automation (TLA) has become a central strategy for improving efficiency in high-volume laboratories, where integrated systems from Abbott, Roche, Siemens H…
