  • 12 Steps to Set up a Biomed Lab

    Opening a biomed lab includes managing multi-layer organizational involvement all the way from facilities to the head of operations. When starting a new lab from scratch, the first step is to fully understand the organization’s mission and business goals. This will impact how you approach setup and any purchasing decisions you make. This article describes 12 essential steps to set up a biomed lab.

  • Medical Device Optical-Breadboard Prototypes

    Tips for building a medical device optical breadboard prototype. When designing a medical device made of complex, multi-functional mutually interacting subsystems it’s best to de-risk those subsystems instead of coming up with a paper design, assembling it, and hoping it works first time. De-risking individual subsystem behaviours one at a time enables more-focused assessments and improves troubleshooting.
