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.
Urine Histoplasma Capsulatum Antigen
The test detects the presence of Histoplasma capsulatum antigens in the urine. It is useful for evaluating histoplasmosis, particularly in cases of disseminated or chronic infection, and aids in differentiating it from other infectious diseases.
Natural Killer Cells, Flow Cytometry
The method helps analyse and quantify NK cells in blood or tissue samples. By using specific antibodies and flow cytometry, this test helps assess NK cell count, activity, and phenotype, providing valuable insights into immune system function and potential abnormalities.
HLA Typing (A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1) High Resolution
It is a detailed genetic test used to identify specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles with high precision. This comprehensive typing is essential for matching organ and bone marrow donors with recipients, assessing compatibility for transplantation, and understanding genetic predispositions to certain diseases.
Adiponectin Serum
The test measures the levels of adiponectin, a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. Elevated or decreased levels of adiponectin can provide insights into metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
Tetanus Toxoid IgG
The test measures the levels of IgG antibodies against tetanus toxin. It helps assess immune response to tetanus vaccination or determine immunity status, which is essential for evaluating the need for booster doses and ensuring protection against tetanus.
Anti Reticulin Antibody IgA
The test detects the presence of IgA antibodies against reticulin, a component of connective tissue. Elevated levels of these antibodies may indicate celiac disease or other autoimmune disorders.
Platelet Antibodies [Qualitative]
The test detects the presence of antibodies against platelets, which can indicate immune-mediated platelet destruction. It is used to evaluate conditions such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and may assist in understanding the underlying cause of low platelet counts.
ST 2 (Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenesis 2)
It is a biomarker that measures levels of the soluble form of the ST2 protein, which is involved in inflammatory and fibrotic processes. Elevated ST2 levels may indicate cardiovascular stress, such as in heart failure, and are used to assess disease severity and monitor treatment response.
IgA Subclasses
The test measures the levels of the different IgA subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) in the blood. It helps evaluate and manage conditions related to immune system dysfunction, such as selective IgA deficiency or autoimmune disorders, by assessing the balance and function of these immune components.
