Genomic Laboratory Design FAQs
What is a genomic laboratory?
A genomic laboratory is a specialised facility dedicated to the study and analysis of genes, DNA, and genetic expression. Genomic laboratories play a pivotal role in fields like precision medicine, oncology, rare disease research, and population health.
They require carefully controlled environments to protect the integrity of genetic material and are typically designed with distinct zones to minimise contamination and ensure the accuracy of results. These labs are equipped to perform processes such as DNA extraction, sequencing, amplification (e.g. PCR), and bioinformatics analysis, enabling scientists to understand genetic structures and their roles in health, disease and development.
What considerations are important in the design and fit out of a genomic laboratory?
When designing and fitting out a genomic lab, there are several factors to be considered, and these can develop and evolve over the course of a project. Fundamental considerations can include the specific research activities and requirements of the client, as well as basic requirements such as electrical setups and plumbing.
Additionally, ergonomic considerations should be taken into account to ensure the comfort of staff, and storage solutions should be provided for equipment or advanced storage for samples. In summary, there are many different considerations.
How long does it take to design and fit out a genomic laboratory?
The time required to complete a genomic lab fit out depends on the project's scope, complexity, and any potential changes that may occur during the project process. At Area Laboratories, we’ll work closely with you to help you understand the time scale of a project to ensure a timely completion of your laboratory.
