Free laboratory capacity tool
Analyzer capacity calculator
Estimate the sustained throughput and analyzer count needed for peak workload after a downtime reserve.
How to use this tool
- Enter normal reportable tests per day.
- Add a realistic peak-day multiplier and operating hours.
- Use sustained analyzer throughput from a verified workflow, then reserve time for downtime.
Use the result in your buying decision
- Ask suppliers to demonstrate sustained throughput for your test mix.
- Check peak-hour turnaround, backup, maintenance and sample-loading constraints.
- Model a higher peak or reserve before committing to a configuration.
Planning disclaimer: This estimate is not a performance guarantee or clinical recommendation. Verify test mix, batching, QC, repeats, staffing, uptime and manufacturer specifications.
