- Amylase
- Drug screening test
- C-Reactive Protein, Phosphate, Rheumatoid factor
- Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)
- Serum Electrolytes – Sodium(Na) potassium (K), Chloride (Cl), bicarbonate
- Glycated Haemoglobin (HBA1C) etc.

Serological tests are helpful in the diagnosis of certain bacteria, parasitic and viral diseases. Tests under this include;
- Retroviral screening (HIV Infection)
- Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test for syphilis
- Chlamydia detection
- Hepatitis A, B and C screening
- Serum/blood Tuberculosis
- erpes Simplex Virus I & II
- Serum H. Pylori test, etc.
- Immunology and Endocrinology
Using our fully automated systems, we offer the best range of immunological and endocrinology assays with accuracy and precision. We offer tests like
- Tumour markers; Alpha-FetoProtein (AFP), Carcinogenic Embryonic Antigen (CEA), Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), Free PSA, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CA 125. Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (B-HCG)
- Hormonal Profile Assay; Prolactin, Estradiol, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Testosterone, Progesterone, Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Thyroid function test, Insulin, Cortisol, Adrenocorticotropic (ACTH), Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS)
- Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA)
- Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA)
- Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA)
- TPO Antibody
- Cardiac markers; Troponin I, Pro BNP
- Anti-ds DNA Antibody
- TSH Receptor Antibody
- Nutritional Status- Vitamin B12, 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D, Folic Acid
- Hepatitis B panel, etc.
- Haematology:
We have a fully automated 6-part haematology analyser, giving you the advantage of a reticulocyte count in all Full Blood Count (FBC) analyses. Some other tests we carry out include;
- Clotting profile
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Blood group and genotype
- Peripheral blood film analysis
- Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), etc.
- Medical Microbiology
We offer a deviation from conventional medical microbiology to a modern, automated medical microbiology practice. We boast of a biologically safe and aseptic analysis of microbiology samples.
- State-of-the-art microbiology machine for identifying bacteria and fungi, including antibiotic and antifungal sensitivity. This reduces the whole process of culture, identification and sensitivity leaving the turnaround time (TAT) at 24hours less than the normal conventional 48 or 72 hours.
- Semen analysis; checks acrosome vitality, DNA fragmentation, motility and morphology of sperm cells.
- Fully automated blood culture system that can detect organism growth from three (3) days of incubation. etc.
- Histopathology and Cytopathology
We offer both Histopathology and Cytology services as we have a fully automated system for processing tissue samples and getting them examined by a trained and certified pathologist. Some tests include:
- Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)
- Small tissue histology
- Large tissue histology
- Cytology; pap smear, aspirates and fluid cytology
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
- Autopsy, etc.
