Phases of Lab Set Up

Clients often ask what the process is for setting up a laboratory. We like to break this up into 3 phases.

1. Plan

2. Act

3. Implement

The planning phase is the most critical.  This phase entails developing a detailed action plan to ensure all regulations and requirements are satisfied.  Additionally, this provides the framework for moving forward with method development and validation.  At this point, everyone is on the same page to move forward. 

The Act phase entails acting on the plan from Phase 1 in order to move forward with Phase 3. Essentially, this boils down to order all supplies and equipment.

The Implement phase involves setting up the laboratory.  Everything from unpacking & order reconciliation to method development & validation.  This phase takes us all the way through certification.
