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.
Gabapentin
A gabapentin test measures the levels of gabapentin in the blood to determine if you are at risk of an overdose or if you have stopped taking the drug after treatment.
Aryl Sulphatase A
The test measures the amount of the enzyme aryl sulfatase A in the body. This enzyme helps break down sulfatides and is encoded by the ARSA gene.
Hains Mott Species Identification
This test identifies different Mycobacterium species, including those causing tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections.
West Nile IgG Antibody
The test detects IgG antibodies in the blood produced in response to a West Nile virus infection.
West Nile IgM Antibody
The test detects the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood, indicating a recent West Nile virus infection.
Pole Gene Mutation Analysis
The test looks for mutations in the POLE gene. Mutations in this gene can increase the risk of certain cancers and affect treatment responses, making this test vital for personalised medical approaches.
Urine Multiplex PCR for STDs
The test uses a multiplexed real-time PCR technique to detect multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from a single urine sample. This highly sensitive and precise method allows for efficient and accurate screening of infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and others.
HLA - Celiac Disease (DQB1*02,1*03,DQQA1*05,1*03)
The test analyses specific genetic markers (DQB102, DQB103, DQA105, and DQA103) associated with an increased risk of developing celiac disease. Identifying these markers helps assess susceptibility to the condition and supports accurate evaluation and management.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy [SMA] By PCR
The test uses a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to detect genetic mutations in the SMN1 gene responsible for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a progressive motor neuron disease. It aids in identifying the presence or absence of these mutations for carrier screening and effective management of the condition.
