IMDNA helps physician practices and laboratory teams organize the practical components needed to develop or expand an in-office laboratory environment. Our role is focused on laboratory equipment, operational consumables and supplies, workflow planning, technology selection, laboratory organization, scientific and technical guidance, and implementation support.
Every laboratory is different. IMDNA works with customers to understand their intended testing workflow, available space, expected workload, equipment needs, supply requirements, and operational goals, then helps build a practical support plan around those needs.
A functional laboratory requires more than an analyzer. Equipment, supporting instruments, consumables, specimen movement, work areas, storage, documentation tools, staff workflow, and day-to-day operational needs must work together. IMDNA focuses on helping customers organize these practical components.
Translate the intended laboratory workflow into practical space, equipment, supply, and operational requirements.
Assist with evaluation, selection, placement, setup considerations, and coordination of laboratory instruments and supporting equipment.
Help identify routine laboratory consumables, reagents, plastics, controls, storage materials, and workflow supplies appropriate to the planned testing environment.
Support practical specimen, reagent, operator, equipment, and information flow to create an organized laboratory environment.
Help laboratory teams prepare equipment, supplies, workflow documentation, training resources, inventory, and routine operational processes.
Support can be tailored to a new laboratory, expansion of an existing laboratory, introduction of new technology, or improvement of an existing workflow.
Review the intended laboratory activities, expected workload, specimen types, available space, current resources, and practical implementation goals.
Help compare laboratory instruments and supporting equipment based on workflow, throughput, footprint, operating needs, service considerations, and intended use.
Support practical placement of instruments, workstations, storage, refrigerators/freezers, centrifuges, pipettes, computers, and other laboratory resources.
Develop practical lists of recurring consumables and operational supplies needed to support routine laboratory activities.
Organize specimen receipt, preparation, testing, storage, result workflow, cleaning, waste handling, and routine laboratory movement.
Provide scientific and technical input when evaluating molecular, immunoassay, cell-based, or other laboratory technologies appropriate to the customer's intended work.
Provide practical educational guidance through IMDNA's scientific, technical, and laboratory-experienced team and help identify useful technical resources.
Support instrument familiarization, workflow orientation, reagent handling, routine operating practices, and vendor or technology-specific training coordination where appropriate.
Help establish practical approaches for supply lists, storage locations, reorder points, lot tracking, expiration awareness, and routine stock management.
Support development of practical operational checklists, equipment logs, inventory tools, workflow diagrams, and laboratory-use documents.
Help coordinate equipment, supplies, technical resources, workflow preparation, and other non-regulatory implementation activities.
Continue to assist with laboratory supplies, workflow improvement, technology questions, equipment needs, and practical operational challenges after implementation.
IMDNA's support model is designed around the practical work required to move from a laboratory concept toward an organized and operational laboratory environment.
Equipment selection should reflect the intended workflow rather than a one-size-fits-all package. IMDNA can help customers evaluate the practical laboratory resources needed for their planned activities.
Reliable laboratory operations depend on having the right materials available when they are needed. IMDNA can help organize recurring supply requirements around the laboratory's intended workflow.
Depending on the laboratory's objectives, IMDNA's scientific and technical team can help customers evaluate practical technology and workflow considerations. Technology support is tailored to the laboratory's intended activities and available resources.
General support for PCR and RT-qPCR instrumentation, extraction workflows, reagent handling, amplification workflow organization, and related laboratory supplies.
General support for ELISA and multiplex bead-based immunoassay equipment, reagents, consumables, plate workflows, and laboratory organization.
General support for instrument and workflow considerations, sample preparation resources, antibodies/reagents, consumables, and operational organization.
General support for equipment, consumables, culture-related workflow organization, assay materials, and practical laboratory setup considerations.
Operational readiness means bringing equipment, supplies, people, and workflow together in a way that is practical for routine laboratory use.
Coordinate installation-related needs, workspace, accessories, operating materials, and manufacturer or vendor resources.
Organize initial stock, recurring consumables, storage locations, backup supplies, and replenishment planning.
Review the practical sequence from specimen receipt through processing, testing, data handling, storage, and routine cleanup.
Help identify training resources, instrument instructions, workflow checklists, and practical materials that support consistent laboratory operations.
Support practical organization of laboratory worksheets, equipment logs, inventory records, workflow diagrams, and operational documentation.
Review practical workflow challenges after implementation and identify opportunities to improve equipment use, supplies, organization, and efficiency.
IMDNA provides general laboratory planning and non-regulatory implementation support based on the needs of each laboratory or physician practice. Support may include assistance with laboratory equipment selection and setup, laboratory operational consumables and supplies, general workflow planning, laboratory organization, research and testing workflow considerations, technology selection, and operational readiness.
Where appropriate, IMDNA may also provide general educational information and practical guidance through its scientific, technical, and laboratory-experienced team to help customers understand laboratory implementation considerations and identify resources that may be relevant to their project.
