Cytogenetics Lab Build-Outs

Purpose-Built Cytogenetics Laboratories for Chromosomal Analysis

Precision Lab Builds designs and supports cytogenetics laboratory build-outs for healthcare organizations that require in-house chromosome analysis capabilities. These labs are structured to support traditional and modern cytogenetic workflows while meeting regulatory, operational and clinical standards.

Cytogenetics labs focus on the visual and molecular evaluation of chromosomes to detect numerical and structural abnormalities associated with genetic, developmental and oncologic conditions.

Core Testing Capabilities Supported

Precision Lab Builds supports cytogenetics lab infrastructure for:

Karyotype Analysis

Cell culture, harvesting, slide preparation, staining and microscopic analysis

FISH Testing

Targeted probe-based detection of chromosomal abnormalities

Chromosomal Microarray (CMA)

High-resolution, genome-wide copy number analysis

CMA is a cytogenetic method, but CMA-only labs differ significantly from full cytogenetics labs. For organizations focused exclusively on CMA - articularly in autism and neurodevelopmental care - we recommend a dedicated CMA lab model.

Cytogenetics Lab Design Considerations

Cytogenetics labs require careful planning to support both manual and automated processes, including:

• Cell culture and incubation areas

• Microscopy and image analysis stations

• Molecular processing zones

• Clean workflow separation to prevent cross-contamination

• Data interpretation and reporting workspaces

Our build-outs are designed to scale, allowing organizations to expand or streamline testing as clinical needs evolve.

Compliance & Operational Alignment

All cytogenetics lab builds are aligned to support:

• CLIA certification requirements

• CAP accreditation standards

• State laboratory regulations

• Quality management and documentation workflows

Precision Lab Builds provides infrastructure and operational design support only. We do not perform diagnostic testing or patient-facing services.
