Laboratory setup consultation
Build the right laboratory, the right way, for your budget.
We guide hospitals, laboratories and institutions on how to start, where to start, and which technical requirements give the best quality for their lab and their budget: for NGS laboratories, laboratory developed tests (LDT) and multi-omics workflows.
What we cover
NGS Lab, LDT & Multi-Omics Workflow Setup consultation.
NGS Laboratory Setup
Planning a sequencing laboratory from the first needs assessment to routine runs: test menu, space, equipment, workflows, bioinformatics, staffing and accreditation readiness.
Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT)
Designing and validating your own molecular tests: intended use, assay design, analytical validation plans, documentation and quality monitoring.
Multi-Omics Workflow Setup
Setting up workflows that combine genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic or proteomic data, from sample handling to data integration and reporting.
How we guide you
We guide you from the first question to routine runs.
- 01
Where to start
We assess your clinical or research needs, expected volumes, current capabilities and budget, and identify which tests to bring in-house first and which to keep as send-outs.
- 02
How to start
A clear, phased roadmap: priorities, timelines, responsibilities and investment steps, so you can start small and grow with confidence.
- 03
Technical requirements
Platform-neutral advice on space, equipment classes, reagents, controls, workflows, bioinformatics and data systems that give the best quality within your budget.
- 04
Validation and quality
Validation plans, SOPs, quality control and documentation, prepared for accreditation review such as ISO 15189, CAP or CLIA.
- 05
Go-live and training
Support for your team during implementation, staff training and the first routine runs, with a quality monitoring plan.
Budget-aware
Best quality that fits your budget.
Every laboratory is different. We compare options for each phase, from in-house versus send-out testing to scalable equipment choices, so your investment matches your volumes, your goals and your budget. We are not biased toward any specific kit, brand or sequencer: every recommendation is independent and based on scientific evidence.
- Phased investment plans that start small and scale
- Options compared on quality, cost and turnaround
- Independent of any vendor, kit or platform
- Clear priorities for the first tests to bring in-house
TKH is not a medical body. We provide wet-lab and analytical consultation only, to help establish molecular diagnostic and prognostic testing. Your laboratory performs the tests and remains responsible for their validation and results; accreditation is granted by the accrediting bodies.
FAQ
Practical questions
We are new to NGS. Where should we begin?
With a needs assessment: which clinical or research questions you want to answer, your expected sample volumes, and your current team and space. From this we recommend the first tests to bring in-house and a phased plan.
Can you help us choose equipment?
Yes. Our advice is platform-neutral. We explain the options that fit your test menu, volumes and budget, so you can decide with confidence. We are not biased toward any specific kit, brand or sequencer.
Do you help with laboratory developed tests (LDT)?
Yes. We support intended use, assay design, analytical validation planning, documentation and quality monitoring, so your test is ready for accreditation review.
What is a multi-omics workflow?
A workflow that combines more than one type of molecular data, such as DNA, RNA, methylation or proteins, from sample handling through analysis to one integrated report. We help you design it step by step.
