In collaboration with the Erasmus MC, Amsterdam UMC and Roche Diagnostics, process optimization in clinical chemistry laboratories is researched. The focus of this project is to assess the operations from arrival of the sample in the laboratory to first results. Different laboratory configurations are investigated in order to reduce diagnostics turnaround time and improve the laboratory performance.
