Laboratories

The clinical laboratory in SRCMRC is where clinical pathology tests are carried out on clinical specimens to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Clinical Medical laboratories are example of applied science, as opposed to research laboratories that focus on basic science, such as found in some academic institutions. The laboratories are well equipped. The equipment have been chosen for the ability not only to provide quality results, but to be able to provide those results as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

The sections are:

Anatomic pathology: areas included here are histopathology and cytopathology

Clinical pathology, which typically includes the following areas:

Clinical Microbiology: This encompasses several different sciences, including bacteriology, parasitology, and mycology.

Clinical Chemistry: This area typically includes automated analysis of blood specimens, including tests related to enzymology, toxicology and endocrinology.

Hematology: This area includes automated and manual analysis of blood cells. It also often includes coagulation.

Blood Bank involves the testing of blood specimens in order to provide blood transfusion and related services.

Molecular diagnostics DNA testing may be done here along with another clinical testing.

With four full-time faculty members and ninety medical technologists, more than 340,000 tests were performed in a month.
