Several challenges can affect the accuracy and reliability of laboratory analysis, including:
1. Sample Quality: Poor quality or contaminated samples can lead to inaccurate results. 2. Resource Limitations: Limited access to advanced laboratory equipment and trained personnel can hinder effective analysis. 3. Turnaround Time: Delays in processing and analyzing samples can affect timely decision-making during outbreaks. 4. Data Interpretation: Complex data may require specialized knowledge for accurate interpretation, which can be a bottleneck in some settings.
