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.
Chlamydia Trachomatis IgG
This test measures the level of antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis (IgG) in the serum. Chlamydia is a bacteria that is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections throughout the world.
Selenium
It is a blood test that measures the levels of selenium in the blood. Selenium, a vital mineral needed by the body in small amounts, acts as a foundational antioxidant. Antioxidants play an important role in neutralising harmful free radicals, safeguarding cell membranes and DNA from damage. In addition, selenium also supports the immune system's optimal performance.
Haptoglobin
The test measures the levels of haptoglobin, a protein vital for clearing free haemoglobin from the bloodstream. Haptoglobin binds to free haemoglobin in the blood and forms a haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex that is rapidly cleared out of circulation by the liver. This binding is vital since it prevents the haemoglobin from being filtered out by the kidneys.
Neuronal (Paraneoplastic) Autoantibodies Profile
The neuronal autoantibodies profile test evaluates the presence of antibodies that become active during paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS). These syndromes or disorders can arise from tumours such as small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), breast cancer, thymoma, or ovarian cancer.
Bilirubin [Direct]
A direct bilirubin test, also called a conjugated bilirubin test, measures the levels of bilirubin in the blood.
Urine For Cotinine [Qualitative]
The test evaluates the levels of cotinine in the urine.
Folate RBC
The red blood cell (RBC) folate test, also known as the folate RBC test, evaluates the amount of vitamin B9 (folic acid) in an individual’s RBCs. Folate is a nutrient required by the body for normal growth and to make red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets.
Catecholamines, Plasma
It is a blood test that measures the levels of catecholamines in the blood.
IgG Antibody test for COVID-19
COVID-19 IgG Antibody Test For Serosurveillance is a quantitative test to find out COVID-19 IgG antibodies.
