Our story
Growth driven by innovation, integration, and investment
2011
Drs. Chad Austin and Ty Thomas start a CLIA-certified physician office lab within their own medical practice — a high-efficiency model that later launches a large toxicology lab and becomes the foundation for lab development.
2016
Under the Assurance Scientific Laboratories brand, we enter the molecular diagnostics market, focusing on common pathogens with high impact to the population.
2018
In response to customer demand, we launch a lab consulting division to advise startup labs on best practices.
2020
By 2020 we've served 100+ physician-owned lab customers. On news of a novel coronavirus we begin testing research immediately — and in March become one of the first five labs in the nation granted an FDA EUA. Staff quadruples to 120+, and we see 1,000+ patients on day one of drive-through COVID testing.
2021
We receive an EUA for the panel used in our Simplicity COVID-19 home collection kit.
2022
We reveal our rebrand as Streamline Scientific, carrying more than a decade of molecular-diagnostics and lab-consulting expertise forward from our Birmingham headquarters.
