Efficiency can be measured using several key performance indicators (KPIs):
1. Turnaround Time: The time taken to process and analyze a sample from start to finish. 2. Throughput: The number of samples processed within a specific timeframe. 3. Cost per Sample: The total cost incurred for processing a single sample. 4. Error Rates: The frequency of errors or failed analyses, which can indicate inefficiencies in the process.
