Our Setup Process
Discovery & Requirements Analysis
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your scientific objectives, regulatory environment, team capabilities, and budget. This forms the basis of a tailored laboratory specification document.
Laboratory Design & Equipment Planning
Our consultants produce a complete laboratory design — including room layout, airflow and contamination zoning, equipment list with specifications, and vendor shortlists. We work with architects and facility managers where required.
Procurement Support
We guide your procurement team through equipment acquisition, negotiating specifications with vendors, reviewing quotes, and validating that purchased equipment meets your scientific and regulatory requirements before delivery.
Installation Qualification (IQ) & Commissioning
We oversee or advise on equipment installation, qualification protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), and initial commissioning of critical systems including biosafety cabinets, incubators, cryostorage, and imaging platforms.
SOP Development & Staff Training
We write comprehensive SOPs for all core laboratory procedures and deliver training to your scientific team covering cell culture, aseptic technique, equipment operation, quality control, and safety protocols.
Handover & Ongoing Support
Following successful commissioning, we provide a complete handover package including all documentation, training records, and a post-setup support period.
Remote consulting available worldwide. CellXperience delivers full laboratory setup consulting remotely, with on-site visits arranged for critical phases where required. We have supported laboratory builds across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and South-East Asia.
Types of Laboratories We Design
Cell Biology Laboratories
Designed around the needs of primary cell culture, stem cell expansion, differentiation studies, and cell line maintenance. Core capabilities include phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, live-cell imaging, and cryopreservation.
Molecular Biology Laboratories
Designed for downstream characterisation — including gene expression analysis (RT-qPCR), western blotting, ELISA, DNA/RNA extraction, Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), and next-generation sequencing preparation.
GMP-Ready Manufacturing Facilities
For enterprises preparing cell therapy products for clinical or commercial use, we provide GMP-readiness consulting aligned with EU GMP Annex 1, FDA 21 CFR Part 211, and ICH Q10. See our GMP Consulting service for details.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up a stem cell laboratory?
A basic research laboratory can be operational in 8–12 weeks. A GMP-compliant manufacturing facility typically requires 6–18 months. We develop a phased plan matched to your operational deadlines.
What equipment does a stem cell laboratory need?
Core equipment includes a CO₂ incubator, Class II biosafety cabinet, inverted microscope (phase contrast and fluorescence), centrifuge, cryostorage system, and liquid nitrogen supply. We produce a full, budget-graded equipment list during the design phase.
Can you optimise our existing laboratory?
Yes. We conduct a full audit of your existing lab — equipment, SOPs, workflow, and compliance posture — and deliver a prioritised optimisation roadmap.
Do you provide ongoing support after the lab is set up?
Yes. We offer post-setup retainer arrangements covering SOP updates, troubleshooting support, regulatory monitoring, and periodic lab reviews.
