For independent practices managing recurring infectious-disease testing
Stop Waiting Days for Diagnostic Answers
InHouse Molecular helps qualified practices reduce dependence on outside laboratory timelines and create a more controlled path from specimen to treatment decision, without adding daily laboratory work for providers or existing clinical staff.
Qualified laboratory professionals operate the workflow. InHouse Molecular coordinates the staffing, documentation, validation, and implementation required to prepare the capability for launch.
Request a Practice Feasibility ReviewWe assess your testing demand, space, staffing model, workflow, and implementation requirements before recommending whether this is a fit.
The path we shorten
01
Patient visit
The clinical question is recognized during the visit.
02
Specimen collected
The required sample is collected in the practice.
03
Diagnostic answer
Selected testing produces a result the clinician can act on.
04
Treatment decision
The care decision is made with the answer in hand.
What Practices Report
See the practice results- Same Or Next Day Patient Result
- Reported send-out turnaround improvement, depending on menu and workflow.
- Passed CLIA inspection
- All InHouse Molecular POLs launched to date have passed their applicable CLIA inspections.
- Small-footprint implementation
- A practice-reported laboratory built within a compact practice footprint.
Practice-reported results supplied by InHouse Molecular; the inspection status is company-reported and has not been independently verified here. Individual practice experience, not typical or guaranteed results, and past inspection results do not guarantee future approval or ongoing compliance. Turnaround and implementation outcomes vary by test menu, workflow, staffing, volume, validation, and applicable requirements.
The practice model
- Practice-owned.
- Professionally staffed.
- Built for inspection readiness.
The difference
What Changes for the Practice
The implementation system comes later. First, determine whether the operating model fits your practice.
Check the fit criteria- Faster access to selected diagnostic answers
- Less result-chasing and fragmented follow-up
- Qualified laboratory professionals handling daily testing
- A defined workflow built around the practice's actual demand
- A capability the practice owns without physicians operating the bench

Launch
We complete the readiness review and prepare the laboratory to begin operations.
Laboratory ready for operations
See what the implementation includesEquipment, fees, deliverables
We purchase, deliver, install, and configure the laboratory equipment included in the approved launch scope.
The implementation fee includes agreed CLIA and accreditation fees, initial reagents and consumables for the launch menu, and the implementation work required to prepare the laboratory for launch.
Included equipment, fees, and launch supplies are defined by the approved launch scope. Your practice handles ongoing operating expenses after launch.
- Practice readiness assessment
- Custom laboratory design
- Equipment purchase, delivery, installation, and configuration
- Test menu planning
- Validation support
- SOPs and quality documentation
- CLIA and accreditation fees and implementation support
- LIS coordination
- Billing coordination
- Qualified lab director and supervisor placement
- Staff recruitment and training
- Initial reagents and consumables for the launch menu
- Launch-readiness review and operational handoff
- Three months of recruiting support
Ownership and responsibilities
One Coordinated Implementation Path
We coordinate the implementation. Your practice retains ownership, governance, employment responsibilities, and ongoing operation.
The laboratory belongs to your practice. The build, documentation, and staffing plan are ours to deliver.
We handle
- Equipment purchase, delivery, installation, and configuration
- Agreed CLIA and accreditation fees
- Initial reagents and consumables for the launch menu
- Laboratory design, validation support, SOPs, and quality documentation
- LIS and billing coordination
- Director and supervisor placement, staff recruitment, training, and launch
Your practice retains
- Laboratory space and utilities
- Employment of the laboratory team
- Approval of the final configuration
- Ongoing operating expenses after launch
You should not have to become a laboratory operator to bring better diagnostic capability into your practice. We build the infrastructure, systems, and staffing plan. Your practice owns the laboratory. Qualified laboratory professionals operate it.
Your existing practice staff may not qualify to operate a high-complexity laboratory. That is why qualified laboratory leadership and testing personnel are part of the launch plan, not an afterthought.
The practice employs the team. We help identify, recruit, train, and prepare them before launch.
Who it's for
A stronger clinical operation. A practical fit.
Independent primary-care, urgent-care, OB/GYN, and multispecialty practices ready to evaluate in-house capability.
See the full fit criteria- Meaningful infectious-disease testing volume with a credible path to support the proposed menu and staffing model.
- Appropriate space and administrative capacity for implementation.
- Willingness to employ qualified personnel and an engaged decision-maker.
- Capacity for ongoing operating expenses after launch.
Not every practice is a fit. The first step is determining whether clinical demand, staffing, space, state requirements, and economics support the project.
What does “self-operating” mean?
Self-operating means the practice owns the capability while qualified laboratory professionals handle daily laboratory operations. It does not mean unattended, automated, or unstaffed testing.
Read the full answerDoes the practice need existing qualified laboratory staff?
Not necessarily. Some practices already employ a laboratory manager or medical laboratory scientist who can take on part of the operation. Many do not.
Read the full answerDo I need to personally operate the lab?
No. Your qualified laboratory team handles daily testing, quality control, documentation, and reporting. Your role is governance and ownership, not bench work.
Read the full answerHow much space is typically needed?
There is no single answer, because the requirement depends on the test menu, specimen volume, instrument footprint, storage for reagents and supplies, waste handling, and the practice's existing layout.
Read the full answerHow long can setup take?
Timing depends on state licensure and CLIA processing, equipment lead times, space readiness, validation, and how quickly qualified personnel can be hired. A realistic sequence is developed only after these dependencies have been reviewed.
