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.
NUDT15 with TPMT Gene
The NUDT15 and TPMT genes both play crucial roles in the metabolism of thiopurine drugs, such as those used in chemotherapy and for autoimmune conditions.
Vitamin B1
The test measures the levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1) in the blood, which is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. It helps evaluate deficiencies that can lead to conditions such as beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
Myositis IgG Panel - 16 Antigen
The test helps detect autoantibodies associated with myositis, an inflammatory muscle disease, in blood serum.
Toxic and Nutrient Elements
The test measures levels of various elements in the body, including both potentially harmful toxins (like lead and mercury) and essential nutrients (such as zinc and magnesium).
Cadmium
The test measures the concentration of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in blood or urine.
Mercury
The test measures the concentration of mercury in blood or urine to assess exposure to this toxic heavy metal.
Cobalt
The test measures the concentration of cobalt in blood or urine to evaluate exposure to this metal, which can be toxic in high amounts.
Microsatellite Instability (MSI)
MSI testing assesses the stability of microsatellite regions in tumour DNA to detect defects in mismatch repair systems.
24 Hr Urine Magnesium
The test measures the amount of magnesium excreted in urine over a 24-hour period.
