Planning guide

Planning laboratory equipment

A good laboratory is built around the sample path, not around an equipment list. This guide orders the planning steps from reception to report.

Start from the sample path

Map the path: sample reception, registration, sorting, preparation, analysis, review, reporting and storage. Each step needs space, equipment and staff, and a bottleneck at one step stalls everything after it.

MicrobiologyIncubation time and bench space

Reagents and controls

  • Reagent compatibility with the instrument and continuity of supply
  • Storage and refrigeration requirements
  • Controls and calibrators included in the purchase plan
  • Cost calculated per test, not per pack

Calibration and service

Result stability depends on regular calibration and service records. Agree the calibration and preventive maintenance schedule inside the supply contract rather than leaving it until after go-live.

ALQASER's scope in laboratories

ALQASER covers workflow design, supply of clinical chemistry and immunoassay analysers, haematology and coagulation systems, microbiology and molecular diagnostics, and reagents, controls and lab consumables, with reagent supply contracts, calibration and service.
