Aspects of Robustness in Laboratory and Field Biochemical Processes MCMORRANDARREN ALEXANDER 2018 Accurate diagnostic tests are needed in order to combat infectious diseases. These tests often involve the use of biochemical processes, but for them to be widely available, they should be conducted in the field or in the laboratory with high degrees of robustness. The research material in this work covers aspects of improving the reliability, efficiency and affordability of systems in biochemical applications.
