Profiles

  • Liver Function Tests
  • Lipid Profile
  • Renal Function Tests
  • Enzyme Profile
  • Creatine Kinase
  • Creatine Kinase – MB
  • Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

BIO – RAD- D 10

The Bio-Rad D 10 hemoglobin testing system is a fully automated analyzer consisting of a single module that provides an integrated method for sample preparation, separation and determination of specific hemoglobin in whole blood.

The separation is based on the principle of HIGHPERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Bio – Rad D 10 determines the following hemoglobin like HbA2, HbF, and HbA1C. In our lab we only assess the levels of HbA1C.

RAPID CHEM 744 / 754 – For Electrolyte profile

ADVIA ® 60 CLOSED TUBE (CT)

The ADVIA 60 CT is a fully automated haematology analyzer used for the invitro diagnostic testing of whole blood specimens.

It detects the following blood specimens from 10µl of whole blood (taken in EDTA).

  • Total WBC (White blood cells)
  • Total RBC (Red blood cells)
  • Hemoglobin
  • Differential Count
    • Polymorph
    • Lymphocyte
    • Eosinophil
    • Monocyte
    • Basophil
  • Packed Cell Volume (PCV)
  • Platelet Count

The Eryothrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is determined by WESTERGREN procedure by using single use EaSeR pipettes.
