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 turnkey laboratory provider to a consultant. 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 90 days.

Drug Screening Solutions

Analyzers

Lighthouse offers an array of toxicology instruments to meet the comprehensive needs of any lab performing drug screening.

Consumables

We also offer the assortment and dependable delivery of consumables required by drug screening labs.

Reagents, Calibrators & Controls

Reagents, calibrators, and controls are available to the physician’s office and pain clinic labs performing in-house drug screening.

Specimen Validity Tests

Quality specimen validity tests assure lab personnel that they work with unadulterated samples.

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.

We will also provide a validation plan for your technical staff and remotely write a validation summary with the results. We will then start the initial test and provide a validation plan for your technical staff to finish running the validation samples.

Our scientists will also consult with your technical staff on performing and writing Correlation Studies and Specimen Stability Studies.
