Our annual guide
By Christina Wichmann
Editor in Chief
Medical Laboratory Observer’s annual reference guide, Clinical Laboratory Reference (CLR) is the industry’s only complete resource guide providing tables of critical values and high and low critical limits; cutoff concentrations for drug tests; critical values for therapeutic drug levels; adult reference intervals; and pediatric reference intervals. CLR also provides an extensive, alphabetical guide to tests, equipment, and services for the clinical lab market, along with company descriptions and contact information for ordering and pricing.
The tables of critical limits, critical values, and reference intervals help laboratorians interpret test results. Laboratory communication of abnormal test results is an essential aspect of patient care. Critical limits establish the upper and lower values that indicate when a patient’s medical condition may be precarious, requiring the immediate attention of the provider who ordered the test. A clinical laboratory critical value is a test result that falls significantly outside the normal reference interval and indicates a potentially life-threatening situation requiring immediate medical attention. Clinical laboratory reference intervals (also known as reference ranges) are the set of values used by healthcare providers to interpret laboratory test results. These intervals represent the expected range of values for a healthy population and help determine whether a patient’s test result is normal, low, or high. These decision tools assist in one of the top goals in healthcare: timely communication.
I want to thank our committed reviewers of these tables; without them this important resource would not be available:
• The tables of critical limits and values were reviewed and updated by Gerald Kost, MD, PhD, MS, FADLM of the POCT•CTR, School of Medicine, UC Davis, and his UC Honors Program student team. A new point-of-care testing critical limits table is included this year based on their research published March 2025 in “Visualization of Critical Limits and Critical Values Facilitates Interpretation” in Diagnostics.
• The cutoff concentrations for drug tests table was reviewed by Suhash Harwani, PhD, Senior Director of Science for Workforce Health Solutions at Quest Diagnostics. Fentanyl is newly added this year based on the “Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs— Authorized Testing Panels” published January 16, 2025, in the Federal Register.
• The critical values for therapeutic drug values table was reviewed and updated by Rajasri Chandra, MS, MBA.
• The table of reference intervals was reviewed and updated by Sean T. Campbell, PhD, DABCC, FADLM, Clinical Biochemist, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON.
• The pediatric reference intervals table was reviewed and updated by Khosrow Adeli, PhD, FCACB, DABCC, FADLM, Head, Clinical Biochemistry, Hospital for Sick Children and Principle Investigator – CALIPER Program, along with Erin Brady, MLO Managing Editor. Lastly, I hope you enjoy reading “Top trends in the clinical lab” by Erin Brady. Five laboratory industry professionals provided their insights on the top trends they are seeing in the lab world around topics such as artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics, staffing challenges in rural laboratories, continued growth of point-of-care testing, and lab safety challenges.

Top trends in the clinical lab
2025 has been an eventful year for the clinical laboratory industry with the overturning of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) rule, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) restructuring and cuts, and the continued rise of artificial intelligence (AI). On top of that, staffing shortages and burnout continue to burden labs.
By Erin Brady
MLO asked professionals what trends they’ve been observing in labs so far this year. Here is what they said:
AI and automation
Lisa-Jean Clifford, President, Gestalt Diagnostics
We are experiencing the advancement and increase in adoption of digital pathology solutions to enhance pathologists’ workflows. There is also a focus on incorporating AI to improve accuracy and reduce fatigue for pathologists in their interpretation of cases. This also provides faster turn around times.
Another trend in AI automation is that for workflow optimization within the organization; with AI being used in administrative functions and analysis in business process improvement. Generative AI is being used, or at least piloted for use, by many organizations to help improve non-diagnostic work – more as an assistant in items like note taking, reporting, communications, etc.
We are also seeing a big push for cross-specialty communication and collaboration on patients both in the diagnosis and the treatment decisions for patients. This area will continue to evolve as a focus on things like enterprise imaging and data value continues.
Adapting to workforce challenges in rural clinical laboratories
Lynn Evans, Director of Human Resources, Interpath Laboratory
A key trend we’re observing across clinical laboratories in 2025 is the growing emphasis on workforce flexibility and remote-enabled operations—an especially important evolution for rural labs like ours. Our core reference laboratory in Pendleton, Oregon, manages a high testing volume with
limited staff, requiring our medical laboratory scientists (MLS) to maintain deep specialization in their disciplines. While this ensures accuracy and efficiency, it makes cross-training difficult, even though we recognize it as a best practice for long-term sustainability.
To help address these challenges, we’ve begun adopting digital imaging platforms that allow for remote review and analysis by qualified MLS professionals. This advancement has expanded our ability to recruit top-tier talent beyond our immediate geographic region—an enormous benefit in a rural setting where it can be difficult to attract and retain highly specialized laboratory staff. From an HR standpoint, this technology supports more flexible staffing models while maintaining the high standards required for diagnostic accuracy. As we continue to evolve, we’re focused on balancing specialization with gradual cross-training initiatives and leveraging technology to build a more agile, resilient workforce.
The 3 ‘As’ – Automation, Analytics, AI
Kim Futrell, MLS(ASCP), BSHI, Senior Strategic Marketing Manager, Orchard Software
In 2025, the push is for clinical laboratories to be more efficient than ever due to continued staffing shortages. The good news is that there are advances in technology helping that efficiency along. For instance, laboratories can expect to see continued advancements in automation, AI, and data analytics. Automation systems are being deployed to handle manual aliquoting and pre-analytical steps in assay workflows. These systems improve the quality and reliability of results, reduce processing time, and enhance test turnaround time.
AI is revolutionizing laboratory information systems (LIS) by enabling advanced diagnostics, predictive insights, and workflow optimization. AI-powered algorithms assist in automating sample tracking, quality control, and anomaly
detection, providing actionable insights to improve diagnostic accuracy and laboratory efficiency.
Data analytics tools are being integrated into LIS platforms to unlock valuable insights from laboratory data, helping laboratories make informed decisions and drive continuous quality improvement. These trends highlight the growing importance of technology in clinical laboratories, driving improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and patient care.
Continued regulatory & billing uncertainty
Laboratories also continue to face challenges related to billing and reimbursement. Regulatory scrutiny of laboratory billing practices has increased, with a focus on compliance risks and the potential for financial penalties. Laboratories must stay abreast of evolving legal and compliance considerations to avoid violations and ensure the financial health of their operations. Overall, clinical laboratories navigate a multifaceted regulatory environment that includes compliance with CLIA, HIPAA, and other federal and state laws, while also addressing billing and reimbursement challenges.
Continued growth in POCT
Driven by many factors, point-of-care testing (POCT) continues to gain traction. The ability of POCT to provide immediate results is crucial for timely medical interventions. The need to care for a growing geriatric population, increasing prevalence of genetic disorders, and the need for rapid disease diagnosis and prevention are likely to continue to boost the POCT market. Overall, the continued growth in POCT reflects its importance in improving patient care, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing the efficiency of diagnostics. This often means that laboratories have to oversee and manage POCT, which can be a challenge.
Continued growth in personalized medicine
Personalized medicine is set to continue its rapid growth as well, transforming laboratories and the healthcare landscape. Personalized medicine tailors medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient, leveraging advancements in genomics, bioinformatics, and data analytics. Laboratories are increasingly adopting next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, enabling faster and more precise genetic testing for disease detection and treatment. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is further enhancing the ability to analyze vast amounts of patient data, providing insights that drive personalized treatment plans. Additionally, the rise of mobile health apps and wearable devices is facilitating real-time data collection, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of personalized treatments. As personalized medicine continues to evolve, clinical laboratories will play a crucial role in delivering tailored diagnostics that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Two lab safety trends in 2025

Scungio
, MLS (ASCP),
SLS, CQA
(ASQ), Owner, Dan The Lab Safety Man, Inc.
Personal electronic devices
Labs continue to deal with the use of personal electronic devices such as cell phones, ear buds, and fitness trackers.
These items present an infection control risk, but many in lab leadership do not understand the risks or they feel unable to fight the use of this technology. Unfortunately, that is a dangerous pathwaythere are already cases of laboratorians who have been hospitalized for using such devices in the department and bringing them home. Since the addiction to social media and these devices is strong, perhaps leaders should look at e-breaks rather than allowing these devices to continue to generate infection risks for their staff.
Specimen transport
With the pandemic well behind us, many labs are now being pressured by other departments to allow all respiratory specimens to be sent to the lab via the pneumatic tube system (PTS). Although COVID-19 is not as great a concern as it once was, the use of the PTS is still a known aerosol generating process. That means that those who open the tube carriers in the lab are at risk for airborne exposure. This includes influenza, tuberculosis, and even measles. Perform a risk assessment to determine the best practice for transporting respiratory specimens to the lab.
A clinical laboratory trend continues: Data rich and information poor
Barbara Strain, MA, CVAHP, Principal, Barbara Strain Consulting LLC
Laboratory testing is central to healthcare, with ~70% of EMRs containing test results and at least 70% of medical decisions rely on them. As pathologists and technologists reexamine test methods, their priority remains delivering precise, easily interpretable, and actionable data.
All future predications reference AI and it is certainly transforming laboratory diagnostics today. Though still emerging, AI can utilize large data lakes with laboratory and other types of raw test results with patient demographics, symptoms, vital signs, diagnosis, and physiological patterns, to enhance triage in Emergency Departments. With AI likely to also be standard in procedural areas and nursing practice assisting but not taking the place of human trained decision making.
The future of lab AI depends on collaboration among pathologists, technologists, and manufacturers to streamline test validation and development of new test. An AI raw data-driven tool could analyze patient demographics, genetic profiles, disease states, as well as specimen collection methods to automate equipment selection or onboard new test modalities—optimizing efficiency and accelerating precision in healthcare diagnostics. Conversely one article proclaims that AI and machine learning could predict new tests in search to make new diagnoses.1
