How PCR and Antigen Testing Can Work Together for Lab COVID Testing
Widespread COVID-19 screening programs are the only way many businesses, schools and other organizations can keep running. Using PCR tests, however, often creates unmanageable turnaround times as clients must send samples to labs, then wait for them to be received, prepped, batched, tested and their results reported. Rapid antigen tests, while not quite as accurate, are speedy and good...

In this brief journal article published in Data Intelligence, Weigel et al. make their case for improving data object findability in order to benefit data and workflow management procedures for researchers. They argue that even with findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles getting more attention, findability is the the starting point before anything else can be done, and that "support at the data infrastructure level for better automation of the processes dealing with data and workflows" is required. They succinctly describe the essential requirements for automating those processes, and then provide the basic building blocks that make up a potential solution, including—in the long-term—the application of machine learning. They conclude that adding automation to improve findability means that "researchers producing data can spend less time on data management and documentation, researchers reusing data and workflows will have access to metadata on a wider range of objects, and research administrators and funders may benefit from deeper insight into the impact of data-generating workflows."Avoiding Food Crime in the Supply Chain
While Quality Assurance and Quality Control are vital parts of the work laboratories carry out in the food and drink sector, their role in avoiding and preventing food crime should not be overlooked and neither should the role of the Laboratory Information Management System in this vital area.
