Based on some cursory research (visit: http://www.epa.gov/sbo/labguide.htm), the following areas seem most challenging for small labs:

  • Professional development opportunities
  • Training
  • Expenditure for internal audits
  • Becoming a GLP laboratory
  • Justifying the expense of automation
  • Competitive bidding

If you run a small lab, does this list ring true? Are there other, more important issues? Please share your insights in order to foster some shared solutions.
