Step 1
Laboratory Design
Define physical zones, specimen flow, and contamination controls before procurement.
Laboratory Startup
Build Your Molecular Laboratory with a Practical, Step-by-Step Plan
SMG helps laboratories move from concept to launch with a clear implementation structure that stays focused on instrument fit, workflow design, validation, and inspection readiness.
Step 2
Instrument Selection
Match platform choice to expected throughput, staffing, and assay scope.
Step 3
Workflow Development
Design a practical molecular workflow that can scale with volume growth.
Step 4
Panel Implementation
Align panel selection, consumables, and staffing for predictable launch readiness.
Step 5
Validation
Plan the studies and documentation required before routine patient testing.
Step 6
LIS Integration
Support data flow, result mapping, and interface alignment.
Step 7
Training
Prepare laboratory staff for day-one execution and troubleshooting.
Step 8
Go-Live Support
Provide support during launch so the laboratory can transition smoothly.
Step 9
Inspection Preparation
Organize documents and operational discipline for future inspection readiness.
Step 10
Ongoing Technical Support
Keep a responsive support structure in place after launch.
