Toxicology/Drug Testing Laboratory Solutions
Toxicology Lab Startup & Validations
Whether you’re looking to start a toxicology lab or to expand your test menu by adding drug testing – we are here to assist.
Our goal is to empower healthcare providers and improve patient care by building and managing CLIA-certified, physician-owned laboratories with state-of-the-art LC-MS technology.
Looking to Start a Toxicology Lab?
If you’re ready to discuss the next steps of building a toxicology laboratory, you’ll want to have a partner with experience navigating the various regulatory bodies (CLIA, COLA, CAP, etc.) and existing state and federal guidelines. You will also need to make sure you have a qualified laboratory director to oversee testing, in addition to the other roles CLIA mandates.
Lighthouse assists in this process by acting as everything from a consultant to a turnkey laboratory provider. Whether you require assistance with staffing, regulatory guidance, software solutions, or more, Lighthouse has the expertise to help minimize capital expenses while efficiently getting your in-house lab up and running in as little as 90 days.

Why Bring Toxicology Lab Testing In-House?
As physician practices and community healthcare providers consistently seek to improve quality and provide better value to patients, one pathway that can achieve both outcomes is to move laboratory testing in-house. In addition to offering a better patient experience and test turnaround times, building an in-house lab also lets providers capture some of the revenue being lost when sending out samples to large reference labs.

How We Help With Validations:
Leveraging their experience building over 100 toxicology labs, our team of toxicologists considered runtime, compliance, equipment needs, sample throughput, and reimbursement when they developed our cost-effective method. It covers a comprehensive panel of the most common analytes that are requested by physicians.
Our consulting team creates a custom method specific to your test menu – giving you the ability to test for a wide range of drugs on instruments including Sciex, Agilent, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Shimadzu. Our technical team can develop custom panels of over 100+ drugs and analytes.
Our high-complexity laboratory directors are all Ph.D.- level Scientists and will be on-site to perform the method development. Our scientific team can also train your staff on instrumentation, sample prep, loading of the instrument, data interpretation, and certifying reports.
Our scientists will also consult with your technical staff on performing and writing Correlation Studies and Specimen Stability Studies.
