Lab Design & Space Planning
Transform Any Room Into a Functional CMA Genetic Testing Lab
Clinical Lab Space Design for CMA Workflows
AutismLabSetup.com specializes in designing CMA-ready laboratory spaces for Autism Centers, ABA clinics, developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists and early intervention programs across the United States.
Whether you have a small 200 sq ft room or a larger multi-zone area, we create professional, efficient and workflow-correct lab designs that support accurate Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) testing.
Our design approach focuses on workflow separation, organization and room efficiency, allowing your staff to run CMA testing confidently and consistently.
Your space does not need to start as a lab, we help transform it into one.
Professional Lab Space Planning
We design genetic testing environments that support clean, efficient CMA workflows.
Our space planning services include:
Room Layout and Zoning
We outline the best way to structure your available space, specifically mapping:
-
Pre-analytical zone
-
Analytical workflow area
-
Post-workflow organization
-
Sample handling pathways
-
Storage and supply placement
-
Staff movement optimization
Your final plan minimizes contamination risk and promotes operational consistency.
Equipment Placement Guidance
We provide structured equipment placement recommendations based on:
-
workflow efficiency
-
staff roles
-
movement patterns
-
accessibility
-
pre- and post-process separation
This helps your lab maintain a clean, predictable environment for CMA testing.
Space Optimization for Small Rooms
Many Autism Centers do not have extra lab facilities and that’s okay.
We specialize in designing CMA workflows for:
-
converted offices
-
unused treatment rooms
-
open workspaces
-
administrative spaces
-
repurposed clinical areas
We ensure the room supports efficient CMA operations even when space is limited.
Utility, Storage & Functional Layout
Your lab layout includes recommendations for:
-
cabinetry and storage
-
countertop configuration
-
sink placement (if available)
-
power needs
-
lighting considerations
-
workspace width & clearances
-
supply organization
Each element supports the operational flow of CMA testing.
Future Expansion Planning
Even if your center only performs CMA testing today, we help design your space to support future testing workflows such as:
-
PCR
-
additional molecular panels
-
expanded diagnostics
-
multi-zone workflow expansion
Your space can grow with your diagnostic goals.
Why Lab Design Matters for CMA Testing
A well-planned lab layout provides:
-
smoother workflows
-
minimized contamination risk
-
better staff coordination
-
easier training
-
organized work patterns
-
reduced re-runs
-
faster turnaround times

A CMA lab is more than equipment, it is the physical environment that makes reliable testing possible.

Nationwide Lab Design for Autism Organizations
Our Lab Design & Space Planning services support organizations in:
-
large cities
-
suburban areas
-
rural regions
-
multi-location systems
-
new clinic expansions
-
established centers upgrading their diagnostics
No matter your region, we help you design a lab that fits your clinical workflow and makes sense for your daily operations.
