Scope of Laboratory
BIOCHEMISTRY

A wide range of investigations in Serum chemistry, Hormonal assays & other specialized chemistry is done here using fully automatic analyzers.

HEMATOLOGY

The Hematology section is equipped with an automated cell counter. Here we deal with various blood tests, detection of parasites in the blood, rapid malaria test, and detection of abnormal hemoglobin, detection of blood-clotting system defects & numerical and morphological counting of the blood cells among others.

CLINICAL PATHOLOGY

The laboratory carries out various tests for urine, stool & body fluid analysis such as a spinal, synovial & pleural fluid. In addition, microscopic detection of red cells, pus cells, ova or parasites & chemical examinations are also done.

HISTOPATHOLOGY

This section is responsible for processing, staining & examining tissues removed from the body by syringe or operation. These tests help in the diagnoses of various diseases, including cancer.

MICROBIOLOGY

This section is responsible for bacterial and fungal culture from appropriate sample from patients and providing reports of identification and antibiotic susceptibility. This section deals with the isolation and identification of infectious agents like Bacteria and Fungi. Sensitivity testing i.e. finding an appropriate antibiotic for patients is also carried out. Specimens such as pus, urine, stools, sputum, pleural and peritoneal fluids, cerebral spinal fluid, throat, ear, nose, urethral swabs and so on are sent to the laboratory for culture and sensitivity. Sputum Smears for Tuberculosis as well as culture are performed in special safety cabinets. Serological Diagnosis of diseases, where the culture is negative are also performed.

IMMUNOSEROLOGY

Testing for infectious diseases such as HIV I & II, typhoid fever, brucellosis, HBsAg, dengue, chikungunya, Leptospira, micro albumin, D-dimmer & antigen testing for Hepatitis is performed here.
