MWF monitoring is extremely important to optimize performance and extend fluid life. The most important test is concentration because fluid systems are not static and individual formula components deplete at different rates. Some tests used to monitor MWFs need to be upgraded to shorten the analysis time and improve accuracy and precision. The article from STLE explains it in details.
