“…No matter from foreign or domestic research, there have been some related academic papers on data mining technology and its application in network monitoring in the field of big data, but on the whole, there are still few related studies, lacking systematic and in-depth research. Luo et al think in one article: big data has triggered a reexamination of scientific research methodology and is triggering a revolution in scientific research thinking and methods [10]. Yang et al put forward in a paper: data mining helps network monitoring and guidance to choose the path, including network association analysis, network level division, network clustering, and network tendency analysis, and analyzed the practical value of network monitoring and guidance in the view of data mining [11].…”

In today’s big data context, the composition of virtual networks is becoming increasingly complex, so it is neither easy nor difficult to strengthen the control of network security issues. This paper studies the important content of network big data mining-assisted laboratory management. On the basis of discussing the connotation of laboratory safety, combined with management practice, this paper puts forward some suggestions on laboratory safety management. This paper puts forward some views and thoughts on some problems existing in the management and experimental teaching of chemistry laboratory. By judging the stability of instruments and equipment, we know whether the calibration status of instruments and equipment has changed during this period, so as to ensure the sustainable use of instruments and equipment and the accuracy and traceability of laboratory test results. The use of laboratory management system can greatly improve the utilization rate of laboratory equipment, promote students’ autonomous learning, and promote the standardization of laboratory construction. Improve the network monitoring method of big data mining technology and the application mechanism of big data network monitoring, in one type of laboratory. Teachers and students in the laboratory can reasonably arrange their own time according to their own interests to guide and operate experiments. Through continuous operation and practice, students’ practical ability and experimental knowledge level should be improved as much as possible.

“…Laboratory professionals were one of the many dedicated workforces that continued to work throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic, supporting their medical and healthcare colleagues and the public by ensuring that they had access to sample testing and reporting rapidly. While this was commendable, with governments and the public providing some support, this clearly impacted laboratory staff's mental health and well‐being, with some countries reporting staff burnout and fatigue 5,6 . Biolab was aware of this issue and proactively provided staff with enhanced support and working conditions to ensure staff were protected and supported throughout the pandemic.…”

IntroductionThe global COVID‐19 pandemic overwhelmed national public health and laboratory capacity in Jordan and globally. In response, Biolab, a private laboratory group with 27 branches across Jordan, assisted with testing. Biolab was equipped to quickly increase molecular testing capacity without compromising quality or turnaround time, allowing them to contribute to national COVID‐19 surveillance efforts.MethodsBiolab expanded testing in Jordan by operationalizing automated testing platforms at various locations, including 16 branches, 2 drive‐through and 2 walk‐through centres, and entry points for airports and marine passenger arrivals. Genomic and molecular testing were implemented to track variants. Information technology platforms were introduced for sample management, registration, and commercial sample payments. Data were directly provided to the Ministry of Health through these platforms to support public health decision‐making and responses. Biolab prioritized staff well‐being by providing mental, financial, and physical health support during the pandemic.ResultsBiolab processed more than two million samples, with a turnaround time of ~1.5 h. Results were transmitted directly to key stakeholders in near real time. Biolab conducted variant evaluations on >1.4 million samples using molecular variant testing and >1000 samples using whole genome sequencing. Biolab prioritized staff well‐being, improving staff satisfaction from 74% to 91%, a remarkable achievement when many laboratory systems experienced staff burnout and dissatisfaction.ConclusionThe collaboration between public and private laboratories during COVID‐19 established a model for future joint efforts to prevent outbreaks from becoming pandemics. Biolab's focus on efficiency, quality, and staff well‐being enabled consistent, high‐quality performance. The introduction of innovative information technology platforms ensured swift information dissemination. Biolab plans to continue investing in these platforms and expand pathogen testing, creating a top‐tier testing infrastructure in Jordan with a demonstrated ability to cooperate with the government for public benefit.

“…Additionally, a key finding of this assessment is that as NIC redirected their efforts towards testing SARS‐CoV‐2, it directly impacted the quality of testing for influenza 11,12 . Those laboratories participating in the GISRS/EQAP showed strong performance in SARS‐CoV‐2 detection (93% concordance) but a lower EQA concordance result for influenza (80% concordance).…”

This is to be expected, as constraints in equipment, human resources, and reagents will impact on the ability of an institution to run high-throughput testing of a priority pathogen, such as SARS-CoV-2, without an expected impact on other testing programs.…”

IntroductionThe COVID‐19 pandemic placed unprecedented stress on laboratories in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Building on existing capacity for influenza diagnostics, countries introduced COVID‐19 diagnostic support to ~100% regional coverage. A key challenge during the expansion was maintaining quality testing in laboratories, ensuring that correct results were shared with medical facilities.MethodsWHO organized two rounds of independently monitored severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) external quality assurance programs (EQAP). The Public Health Laboratory (PHL) division of WHO supplied external quality assurance (EQA) panels, from the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programme (RCPAQAP) Australia to laboratories not enrolled in recurring Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) quality assurance programs, in which national influenza centers routinely participate.ResultsFifteen and 14 countries participated in PHL/EQAP for SARS‐CoV‐2 between 2020 and 2022. Concordance was consistent between rounds, reaching 96.4% and 89.9%. A separate assessment of GISRS/EQAP to national‐level laboratories identified high levels of response and concordance for SARS‐CoV‐2 (100% response, 93% concordance), which was reduced for influenza (50% response rate, 80% concordance), reflecting the challenge of prioritizing pathogens during outbreaks.ConclusionThe proliferation of laboratories in response to COVID‐19 was a success story from the pandemic. However, monitoring the quality of laboratories was challenging via existing EQAP. The addition of PHL/EQAP provided a mechanism to monitor performance of laboratories that were not designated as national influenza centers. While a high proportion of laboratories attained good results, continual emphasis on quality and enrollment in EQAP is key to ensuring sustainability of laboratory testing in future.
