Lab Automation for Urine Analysis
June 19, 2018 | Terry Sharrer
“TLA (Total Laboratory Automation) has vastly changed the workflow for urine cultures. As an example, plates no longer sit out on the bench for hours waiting to be read. Instead, they are read continuously and remain in the incubator unless further workup is required. This has resulted in growth of many bacteria at an accelerated rate. Thus, laboratories are noticing increased isolation of fastidious organisms that typically grow too slowly to be seen within 24 hours using traditional methods.” MORE
