Protecting Clinical Lab Uptime

How water quality and system planning support analyzer performance and testing continuity

Written byToday's Clinical Lab andMilliporeSigma

In clinical laboratories, purified water is part of daily testing workflows, influencing analytical performance and operational continuity. If water demand is underestimated, quality fluctuates, or system issues are identified too late, the effects can extend to analyzer availability, turnaround time, and confidence in results.

To protect testing continuity, laboratories must connect assay-specific water requirements with system capacity, maintenance, monitoring, and contingency planning. This eBook examines the analytical and operational roles of purified water, helping clinical labs identify downtime risks and evaluate the systems and practices that support reliable analyzer operation. 

Download this eBook to learn how to:

  • Match water quality requirements and purification approaches across clinical and specialty tests
  • Assess average consumption, burst flow, and future demand when sizing water systems
  • Identify planned and unplanned downtime risks and evaluate appropriate continuity measures
  • Use monitoring, documentation, and consumable management to support troubleshooting and quality oversight
