- •
TLA system in our laboratory shows efficient management of substantial workloads.
- •
Manual processing however provides shortest IR-TAT for small STAT volumes.
- •
Significant improvement in IR-TATs following TLA is demonstrated.
- •
TLA has also provided considerable staff savings of a minimum of $730,000 per year.
- •
Insight from this large and complex TLA is provided to potential users and vendors.
