Natera
Improving Oncology Specimen Preparation and Protection
Natera’s oncology specimen kit relied on dense instructions and lacked secure in-box storage, increasing the risk of preparation errors and specimen damage in transit. This proposal explored clearer guidance, protective packaging, and a more reliable experience for laboratory teams.

Introduction
Natera’s oncology specimen kit relied on dense instructions and lacked secure in-box retention for finite tumor tissue. As a Support UX Designer, I evaluated preparation errors, specimen movement, repeat-procedure costs, and production constraints before defining the design direction.
The proposal addressed pain points across histology, accessioning, pathology, and lab operations. Final deliverables included a redesigned instruction lid, a protective foam-insert concept, packaging specifications, annotated mockups, a product requirements document, and presentation materials for stakeholder review.
