Selecting a laboratory test involves more than reviewing its detection targets. Instrument compatibility, workflow requirements and ongoing support also need to be considered before introducing it into routine use.

Start with your laboratory’s requirements

Identify the testing application, expected sample volumes and turnaround requirements. These details provide a practical starting point for assessing the available options.

Check compatibility and consumables

Confirm which instruments support the assay and which reagents, cartridges and consumables are required. Products used on the same instrument can have different intended uses, so each assay’s documentation should be reviewed separately.

Review the supporting documentation

Product brochures provide an overview. Instructions for use and product-specific technical documents contain the details needed to assess sample requirements, storage conditions and operating procedures.

Consider training and technical support

Include installation, application training, servicing and technical assistance in your planning. Confirming these arrangements early helps your team prepare for implementation.
