DNA TESTING

DNA Testing is an accurate method for determining the biological relationship between individuals. The commonest form of DNA testing include:

• DNA Paternity Testing – to tell the biological father of a child Read more
• DNA Maternity Testing – to tell the biological mother of a child Read more
• DNA Relationship Testing – to tell presence/absence of biological relationships between individuals g. alleged brothers, alleged uncle-Nephew Read more

PCR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a Nobel-prize winning technology and it is recognized as one of the most important scientific discoveries of our generation. PCR was invented in1983 by a Chemist named Kary Mullis, who was later awarded a Nobel Prize in 1993 for this landmark invention.

PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction. PCR Diagnostics,  also known as Molecular Diagnostics or Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs means that in the sample being tested, we aim to detect nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA) to arrive at a diagnosis or provide clinically useful information for patient care.

MICROBIOLOGY TESTS

We are an industry leader in ensuring exceptional quality testing in our state-of-the-art facilities. Diagnostic tests are used to detect, confirm, or rule out the presence of a disease or medical condition. They can be used to screen for certain conditions in people who are at increased risk; to evaluate the effects of treatment; or to monitor disease progression.

• Complete blood counts
• Anticoagulant Therapy Monitoring
• Blood Chemistry Analyses
• Therapeutic drug monitoring

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY TESTS

Clinical chemistry refers to the biochemical analysis of body fluids. It uses chemical reactions to determine the levels of various chemical compounds in bodily fluids. Several simple chemical tests are used to detect and quantify different compounds in blood and urine, the most commonly tested specimens in clinical chemistry.

Techniques such as spectrophotometry, immunoassays, and electrophoresis are also used in clinical chemistry to measure the concentration of substances such as glucose, lipids, enzymes, electrolytes, hormones, proteins, and other metabolic products present in human blood and urine. [Read more]

IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Immunodiagnostic assays are procedures that utilize products of the immune response as integral parts of the test. Basically, immunodiagnostic assays use antibodies generated either against a single antigen or antigens associated with a specific analyte, pathogen, or disease condition.

HAEMATOLOGY

Haematology is a branch of medical science that studies the morphology of blood and blood-forming tissues. It covers the cellular composition of blood, blood cell formation, haemoglobin synthesis and all related disorders. Haematological parameters are widely used to support diagnoses and treatment monitoring.

Haematology studies red and white blood cells and platelets, their relative proportions, general cell health and the diseases caused by imbalances between them.
