Clinical labs rely on dependable performance from their instruments, reagents, and workflows, with the expectation that results will remain accurate and reliable. Yet these expectations can be challenged by subtle shifts in water quality, leading to increased variability and downtime. Insufficient water quality can also shorten instrument lifespan, increase waste generation, and complicate compliance with regulations, such as those set by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).
This compendium brings together a collection of resources that examine these challenges from analytical and operational perspectives. It outlines where water-related performance issues most often arise and provides considerations for maintaining consistent water quality, supporting uptime, and aligning with regulatory expectations.
