FAQ / Laboratory Supplies

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

Is this product CLIA compliant?

CLIA compliance depends on how the product is used in the lab workflow. Specific assays are waived, moderate, or high complexity. Lab consumables themselves aren't CLIA-rated, but their use within a validated assay is.

Are these single-use or reusable?

Most modern lab plasticware is single-use to prevent cross-contamination. Glassware may be reusable with proper cleaning and sterilization. Check the product label.

Do I need FDA-cleared products for clinical testing?

Products used in clinical diagnostic testing must be FDA cleared or compliant with LDT requirements. Products used in research may have different standards. Check with your lab director.

How should lab consumables be stored?

Most lab products store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Sterile items must remain in original packaging until use. Reagents and media have specific temperature requirements.
