Located in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, with convenient accessibility, Elite Medical Laboratory spans over 7,000 square feet. The facility is meticulously designed to meet the highest standards for clinical research and diagnostics.

The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technological platforms, including:

• High-throughput sequencing platforms
• Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) platforms
• Automated nucleic acid extraction systems
• Mass spectrometry platforms
• Flow cytometry platforms

These platforms support a diverse range of molecular diagnostic applications, including workflows for real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

The laboratory conducts a comprehensive array of tests, including:

• Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
• Genetic testing for inherited disorders, metabolic diseases, and rare diseases
• Tumor genetic profiling
• Pathogen metagenomic sequencing
• Diagnosis of infectious diseases of unknown etiology
• SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) nucleic acid testing

Additionally, the laboratory offers services in:

• Pharmacogenomic testing (Drug response)
• Genetic health screening
• Gastrointestinal health monitoring

The facility includes a dedicated intelligent warehousing system, ensuring efficient inventory management and logistics, thereby enhancing overall laboratory organization. The laboratory design prioritizes a safe working environment and optimizes workflow efficiency.

Key design features include:

• Dedicated Work Zones: Segregated areas are designated for sample reception and preparation, molecular biology procedures (including PCR setup, NGS library preparation, and quality control steps), analysis, and data management to minimize cross-contamination risks.
• Advanced Instrumentation: Equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic technology, including unique DNA nanoball (DNB)-based NGS platforms such as the DNBSEQ-G99 and DNBSEQ-G400, ensuring high reliability and accuracy of results.
• Intelligent Inventory and Logistics Warehouse: Adjacent to the main laboratory, this dedicated warehouse stores reagents, samples, and consumables. Its design facilitates efficient access and organization, ensuring materials are readily available to support continuous research and diagnostic operations.
• Ventilation and Airflow Control: A specialized negative pressure ventilation and airflow control system, incorporating High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration, maintains optimal air quality, temperature, and humidity crucial for sensitive molecular diagnostics by effectively removing airborne particulates. Airflow is meticulously managed to prevent contamination, with negative pressure maintained in critical laboratory areas to contain airborne contaminants.
