Assays & Reagents

Build the Right Test Menu Around the Right Platform

Laboratory Diagnostic Solutions helps clinical laboratories evaluate assays, reagents, test menus, and platform compatibility across multiple laboratory disciplines—without being tied to a single manufacturer.

More Than a Reagent List

Assay Selection Should Fit the Laboratory

The right assay depends on more than availability. Specimen type, expected volume, analytical performance, workflow, analyzer compatibility, reimbursement, staffing, quality requirements, and total operating cost all matter. LDS helps laboratories evaluate those factors before adding or changing testing.

Testing Areas

Support Across Multiple Laboratory Disciplines

We help laboratories evaluate individual assays as well as broader testing programs and menus.

Molecular Diagnostics

Assay and reagent evaluation for PCR-based testing, including infectious disease and other molecular applications, with consideration for extraction, amplification, workflow, controls, and platform requirements.

Clinical Chemistry

Reagent and assay selection for routine and specialized chemistry testing, including blood and urine applications across automated chemistry platforms.

Toxicology Screening

Support for urine drug-screening menus, immunoassay selection, cutoffs, specimen validity testing, analyzer compatibility, and workflow planning.

LC-MS/MS Testing

Planning support for quantitative and confirmatory testing, including analyte menus, calibration and QC strategy, extraction workflow, reporting, and integration into high-complexity laboratory operations.

What We Evaluate

Choosing an Assay Is an Operational Decision

Platform Fit

Compatibility with the analyzer, workflow, controls, maintenance, and laboratory infrastructure.

Performance

Analytical characteristics, cutoffs, measuring range, sensitivity, specificity, and intended use.

Workflow

Specimen handling, reagent preparation, throughput, hands-on time, staffing, and result review.

Economics

Reagent cost, calibrators and controls, expected volume, waste, reimbursement, and overall operating impact.

Vendor-Neutral Guidance

Relationships Expand the Options. They Do Not Determine the Recommendation.

LDS works with laboratory manufacturers, reagent suppliers, technology companies, and industry partners across multiple disciplines. Those relationships help us identify options, but recommendations are based on the laboratory's testing requirements, workflow, existing systems, and operational goals.

Adding or Changing Testing?

Let’s Evaluate the Assay, Platform, and Workflow Together

Whether you are building a new test menu, replacing a reagent system, evaluating a new assay, or expanding into another laboratory discipline, LDS can help you compare the options before implementation.
