‘Game Changer’ Mass Spectrometry for Microbiology at UNC

By Joseph Burns, from the Volume XXI NO. 8 – June 9, 2014 issue

CEO SUMMARY: Microbiologists at the University of North Carolina are using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to slash the time to answer and significantly cut lab costs. Their goals are to improve patient outcomes and reduce average length of stay. In a one-year study presented last month, UNC microbiologists reported that consumable costs for many microbiology tests

Mass Spectrometry Is Finding Larger Role in Clinical Labs

By Joseph Burns, from the Volume XX No. 4 - March 25, 2013 issue

CEO SUMMARY: Mass spectrometry is a diagnostic technology that is transforming clinical labs and improving care at a rapid pace. The current generation of instruments is capable of supporting a faster time-to-answer and provides improved accuracy and specificity over many existing methods. For certain clinical assays, mass spec also can cost less per test than

Volume XXVI No. 8 – June 10, 2019

THE U.S. HAS LOST ALMOST 18% of its pathologists since 2007. This means the U.S. has even fewer pathologists than other countries who have already suffered adverse clinical lab quality events. TDR also digs further into what this means for the industry, finding that while salaries and benefits are increasing, higher pay will come with a heavier workload. Also, in a Clinical Lab 2.0 case study, TDR walks readers through the steps Northwell Health took to help improve patient care – and add value – by using its data to identify patients who were undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
