Despite the benefits, several challenges can arise:
1. Initial Investment: Purchasing automated equipment or high-quality reagents may require a significant initial investment. 2. Training: Staff need to be adequately trained to use new technologies and protocols, which can require time and resources. 3. Resistance to Change: Adapting to new cost-effective methods may meet resistance from staff accustomed to traditional techniques. 4. Quality Control: Ensuring consistent quality while reducing costs can be challenging and requires rigorous quality control measures.
