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.
24 Hr Urine Chloride
The test measures the amount of chloride excreted in urine over a 24-hour period.
24 Hr Urine Osmolality
The test measures the concentration of solutes in urine over a 24-hour period.
24 Hr Urine Ph
The test measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine over a 24-hour period.
Serum Acetaminophen (Paracetamol)
The test measures the concentration of acetaminophen in the blood to assess recent intake and evaluate potential overdose.
Vancomycin
The test measures the concentration of vancomycin, an antibiotic, in the blood to ensure therapeutic levels and avoid toxicity.
Cannabinoids Random Urine (THC) Marijuana
The test detects the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana, in the urine. It is commonly used to identify drug use as part of medical screenings, for athletes and various other settings.
Theophylline Serum
The test measures the concentration of theophylline, a drug used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in the blood. Monitoring theophylline levels is crucial to ensure they remain within a therapeutic range to maximise efficacy and minimise the risk of toxicity.
Thallium Level
The test measures the concentration of thallium, a heavy metal, in the blood or urine.
Giardia lamblia Antigen From Stool
The test looks for the presence of the Giardia lamblia parasite in a stool sample.
