Autism Lab Setup
Design. Build. Launch. Your Center’s In-House CMA Lab.
In-House CMA Lab Setup
AutismLabSetup.com provides specialized consulting to help Autism Centers, ABA clinics, developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists and early intervention programs establish their own in-house Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) testing labs.
Our Autism Lab Setup Services give your center the expertise, structure and guidance needed to convert any room, even 200 sq ft, into a functional diagnostic environment that improves patient evaluation and reduces dependence on slow external labs.
If your organization performs autism diagnostic assessments, an internal CMA lab strengthens your clinical process, speeds up answers for families and enhances your diagnostic credibility.

What’s Included in Our Lab Setup Services
We guide your center through every step required to build a fully operational CMA testing room, including:
Space Planning & Room Layout
We analyze your available rooms and create a functional floor plan that supports a clean, efficient CMA workflow.
Layouts include:
-
pre-analytical areas
-
analytical space
-
post-process workflow
-
equipment placement
-
storage & utilities
-
workflow separation to reduce contamination risk
You tell us what space you have, we build the plan around it.
CMA Workflow Structuring
We map out your center’s entire sample-to-result process so your team understands:
-
required steps
-
sample handling
-
organizational flow
-
efficiency checkpoints
-
recommended sequencing of tasks
-
staff roles and responsibilities
This ensures the lab operates smoothly from day one.
Equipment Guidance & Vendor Support
We help you choose the right equipment for CMA testing without overspending or buying tools you don’t need.
You receive:
-
essential equipment list
-
recommended brands & vendors
-
cost-efficient alternatives

Our goal: a lab that works, not a lab that wastes budget.
Staff Readiness & Operational Training
We teach your designated staff how the CMA lab environment functions, including:
-
workflow sequence
-
lab organization
-
handling procedures
-
operational expectations
-
best practices for accuracy
Training is designed so centers with no previous lab background can begin running testing independently.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
We help you build foundational SOPs that guide:
-
daily operations
-
process consistency
-
basic quality structures
-
workflow control
-
readiness checks
These provide the structure your center needs as it grows.
Why Build an In-House Autism Diagnostics Lab?
Centers nationwide are establishing internal CMA capabilities because:
-
External lab delays slow down diagnoses
-
Evaluation bottlenecks create family frustration
-
Re-sending tests prolongs care
-
Results are out of the center’s control
-
Third-party labs often lack communication
-
Internal labs produce faster, more reliable answers

An internal CMA lab supports:
timely diagnostic decisions + improved provider confidence + better family communication + increased clinic efficiency
Your center becomes the source of accurate, fast genetic information, not a dependent on overwhelmed outside labs.

Designed for Autism Centers Across the U.S.
Our Autism Lab Setup Services support organizations in:
-
large metro areas
-
suburban communities
-
rural regions
-
multi-location centers
-
new clinic expansions
-
established centers adding diagnostic capabilities
No matter your state or clinic size, we help you build a lab that fits your workflow and evaluation needs.
