Pathology Lab
Pathology Lab
As Lucknow First Private Laboratory powered by VITROS® Automation Solution. We at SIDC focus our highest attention to the importance of precision, speed, and accuracy in laboratory operations. Lab Automation combined with bi-direction integration, bar-coding & automated analyzers ensures minimal error and accuracy in testing. This shift has brought in process improvement, quality testing and has even provided safety of the technicians. Our team of trained pathologists, with the help of an automated tracer, verify the results of every sample and implement quality checks to ensure the highest precision in testing for our patients.
Industry Leading Quality in Lab Results
At SIDC, we value that every result matters, and hence follow industry leading practices to produce results that you can rely on.
- NABL Accreditation: Our centralized laboratory is NABL Accredited, and follows stringent quality management norms with delta checks, assurances and internal testing.
- Dry Chemistry Based Technologies: Unlike most other leading NABL Accredited Pathology Labs in Lucknow, SIDC uses Dry Chemistry in most of its testing. Dry Chemistry is the most advanced technology from USA on a fully automated biochemistry platform giving quick, reliable, accurate, and consistent patient results. Clinicians rely on it to treat for better patient outcomes. It does not require external interventions like usage of a high amount of water or washing that eliminates these elements as potential sources of error. It uses a single disposable slide for every test with unique multi-layered Dry Slide Technology producing better precision & accuracy. It's main downside is that Dry chemistry has a higher cost and thus is more expensive to run, but at SIDC, we believe in serving the best, providing quality and world-class service at an affordable price ethically.
- Robotic Lab Automation: The implementation of VITROS Automation Solution for achieving Robotic Total Lab Automation for automated sample transfer between equipment, along with an automated decapper and conveyor belt (track automation), significantly mitigates human intervention in the lab further bolstering quality in processes.
- Internal Quality Controls (IQC): SIDC follows daily Internal Quality Control Checks in the laboratory across lab departments and divisions, because every results matters. Daily IQC checks has been the most important pillar for our lab in enabling our growth and cementing our industry leading reputation.
- Automation: At SIDC we focus on centralizing our operations to provide you consistent and dependable results across the laboratory divisions. Please read the instrumentation list below, to understand the reasons why our lab is emerging as the industry leader in the pathology space.
- External Quality Assurance Schemes (EQAS): To further strengthen our incessant quality efforts, SIDC follows EQAS programs for many tests in the lab to enable a performance comparison with peer labs across the globe.
- Inter-Lab Comparisons (ILC): In our strive to give you quality that you can rely on, we periodically engage in Inter Lab Comparisons with leading labs for many tests to ensure consistency with industry peers.
MTHFR
It is a genetic test for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variations. MTHFR test helps find out the reason for higher homocysteine levels and the risk of thrombosis or premature cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Rotavirus Antigen
The rotavirus antigen test is a stool test to detect rotavirus in the faeces. Rotavirus is a gastrointestinal infection that happens in young children.
CBC with IPF
Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) in an important marker for platelet production. Its levels are usually high in case of disorders of platelet destruction. IPF could be an early recovery indicator of bone marrow function and thrombocytopenia in dengue.
Leptospira Antibody IgG IgM
Leptospira is a type of bacteria that causes an infection called Leptospirosis.
Vitamin D1, 25 Dihydroxy
Vitamin D1, 25 Dihydroxy is the physiologically active form of vitamin D. Your doctor may order this test to evaluate a possible Vitamin D deficiency or malabsorption. It is also ordered in the assessment of vitamin D status, especially in patients with renal disease.
tTg IgG - Tissue Transglutaminase IgG
The tTg IgG (Tissue Transglutaminase IgG) test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) in the blood. It is used in the monitoring of gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease (CoD) - an autoimmune disorder.
PLA2R Antibody
The Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody test is a highly specific way to evaluate primary membranous nephropathy, also known as membranous glomerulopathy - a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults.
Lithium
This test is generally useful to evaluate treatment, toxicity and monitoring the patients of bipolar disorders
TPHA
This test is generally useful to detect syphilis
