In today's fast-paced clinical laboratory environment, efficiency is crucial to maintaining high standards of productivity and accuracy. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers innovative solutions designed to streamline workflows, enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. This article explores these solutions and their benefits for lab directors, lab managers, procurement officers and IT managers.
Clinical laboratories face several significant challenges:
- Operational inefficiency from manual processes and outdated systems.
- Time-consuming and complex regulatory compliance.
- Careful cost management to avoid unnecessary expenses.
- Focus on sustainability while maintaining high operational standards.
With Thermo Fisher by your side, your clinical lab, active in the field of allergy and autoimmunity diagnostics, can successfully address challenges and deploy solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Lab directors
Lab directors require strategic oversight and efficiency. For you, our solutions provide strategic advantages:
- Operational efficiency: Implementing the PhadiaTM Stock Manager module allows for accurate stock control, reducing manual counting and minimizing reagent waste. This leads to better human and financial resource utilization that could save your lab over 9,000ドル per year and result in time savings of 140–240 hours annually.1
- Regulatory compliance and cybersecurity: Designed for the needs of allergy and autoimmune diagnostic labs, our software and the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification we achieved in 2024, contribute to your lab’s compliance and security.2 Paperless workflow solutions simplify secure and accessible data storage, reduce the administrative burden and help ensure that your lab meets required standards.3
- Cost savings: Transitioning to a paperless environment can result in substantial cost savings. For instance, the implementation of a paperless solution in a reference lab led to annual savings of 118,823ドル by eliminating the need for off-site storage and paper.3
Lab managers
Lab managers need to harvest operational gains. You may benefit from the workflow solutions that Thermo Fisher provides in several ways:
- Improved flow of lab work: The PhadiaTM Workflow Advisory Service helps optimize testing profiles, reduce delays in turnaround times, and decrease instrument errors, leading to a more streamlined and efficient lab operation. The Geisinger lab reduced manual labour time by 38% while increasing testing volume by 77% and saving an estimated 35,700ドル in lab space annualy.4 Learn more from this white paper how your lab might benefit.
- Resource utilization: With tools like the Phadia Stock Manager module, lab managers and their designees can track stock levels of reagents and carriers, reducing the time spent on order management from one day to just one hour every three weeks.1 This allows for better allocation of staff and resources.
- Time savings: Paperless solutions significantly reduce the time spent on administrative tasks. Accessing reports now takes minutes instead of hours or days, allowing lab managers to focus on critical operations.3

Procurement officers
Procurement officers require cost management and sustainability. You may find strong value in solutions Thermo Fisher offers:
- Cost efficiency: Optimizing inventory management with the Phadia Stock Manager module reduces the number of additional orders and the amount of manual work, ultimately saving hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars each year.1
- Sustainability: Adopting a paperless approach not only reduces costs but also contributes to environmental sustainability. For instance, a reference lab’s paperless initiative saves approximately 253 trees annually by storing digital lab reports.3
- Enhanced accuracy: Improved stock control and reduced manual errors lead to better accuracy and reliability in the procurement process, ensuring that the lab has the necessary supplies when they are needed, without overstocking or wastage.1
IT managers
IT managers require a safe and sustainable ecosystem for the lab environment. Thermo Fisher operates an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022. ISMS supports the PhadiaTM Laboratory Systems including software applications, related log file management, instruments and services.
Key areas are:
- Cyber-resilience: We deploy a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating information security risks.
- Protection of data: We use established processes focusing on data integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility.5
- Holistic security approach: We implement constant vigilance to maintain a secure environment.
