Services and tests

Phlebotomy

Phlebotomy, the process of drawing blood from a patient, is a crucial procedure for diagnostic testing, transfusions, and other medical needs. Our skilled phlebotomists are trained to perform this procedure with precision and care, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing discomfort. In our laboratory, we adhere to strict protocols to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination. We meticulously follow every step to ensure the integrity of the blood samples.

Haematology

In the Clinical Safety Laboratory, our expert haematological services provide essential insights into your health. Haematology is the study of blood, blood-forming tissues and their associated diseases. Through a variety of tests, we analyze the components of your blood to diagnose and monitor conditions such as anaemia, clotting disorders, infections, and hematologic cancers. The tests carried out under haematology are FBC (Full Blood Count), reticulocyte count, sickling, G6PD, blood film, etc.

Clinical Chemistry

At our Clinical Safety Laboratory, we specialize in Clinical Chemistry, a vital branch of laboratory medicine focused on analyzing bodily fluids to diagnose and monitor diseases. Our facility is equipped with advanced instrumentation and technologies that allow us to perform a wide range of biochemical tests on blood, urine, and other bodily fluids.

Our commitment to quality assurance and accuracy ensures that each test is performed and interpreted with the highest standards of precision. Our team of experienced clinical chemists and laboratory technicians works diligently to provide fast, reliable results, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about your care. Tests carried out under the clinical chemistry include the liver function test (LFT), kidney function test (KFT), lipid profile, glucose metabolic panel (fasting and random blood glucose, HbA1C, 2HPP, and OGTT), hormonal assays, tumour markers, cardiac markers, etc.

Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a routine test that analyses urine to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, and diabetes. At our Clinical Safety Laboratory, we offer comprehensive urinalysis services using advanced technology and strict quality control measures to ensure accurate and timely results.

Serology

Serology involves the study of blood serum to detect antibodies, antigens, and other immune markers, providing crucial insights into infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and immune system status. At our Clinical Safety Laboratory, we offer comprehensive serological testing services using cutting-edge technology to deliver accurate and reliable results.

Our laboratory is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and safety in serological testing. Our experienced team of clinical laboratory scientists and pathologists ensures that every test is conducted with precision, providing healthcare providers with critical information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

The clinical safety laboratory is enrolled in an external quality assurance programme with the College of American Pathologists (CAP), which helps assess the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of our test results.

The clinical safety lab also has the CGM SCHUYLAB laboratory information system, which increases efficiency, data quality, improved communication, and sample tracking.
