The laboratory performs all
types of analysis, which includes biochemical, microbiological,
parasitological, hematological, serum, antibodies, and hormones
analysis's, with most advanced equipments, the laboratory added
special department for blood bank, where all primary examinations
done for donors, and keeping a balance for the clinic in emergency
situations, this laboratory operates throughout a day, under a
supervision of professional staff.

I- Reception: Blood,
pathology, body fluids and other samples are
collected or
received, registered and entered as per test into the
computer system.
Worksheets are made out for these designated tests
then distributed with
their respective samples to the section of concern.

II- Chemistry:
This department is equipped with fully automated
analyzers:
Electrolytes are analyzed using on selective electrode machines.
Manual methodology for
rare, backup and specialized determination using
the best available
quality controlled kits. A special biochemistry area is
responsible for protein
electrophoresis glycosylated hemoglobin and various
miscellaneous,
specialized tests.
III- Hematology:
Fully automated 5-part differential
analyzers are used.
A wide range of
hemostasis studies, using fully automated analyzer is
available for the
diagnosis and follow -up of patients with bleeding and
thrombotic
disorders in addition to an automated blood banking system.
The department
also performs hemoglobin analysis for the diagnosis of
hemoglobinopathies
(Hgb-electrophoresis). Rheumatology (IF), tissue
typing, bone
marrow, etc., are done manually.

IV-
Endocrinology and Serology department:
A wide test menu for
tumor markers, hormones and vitamins is provided by the immunoassay
area using 1) Automated systems 2) electrophoresis -
gel full option machines. 3) ELISA and IF technology for
infectious diseases in addition to highly equipped
serology section.
V-
Microbiology: For isolation, identification and sensitivity
determination of microorganisms in all body fluids and
tissues. Blood cultures and bone marrow are done on automated
machines (quick scan).
VI-
Body fluids department: The analysis of body fluids e.g.
Urine, Stools, Semen, CSF, Lavages, Washes, Brushes, etc. are
carried out.
VII- Quality
Control Section: To Follow up quality control (QC)
according to ISO 9002 organized by the clinic 1)The QC samples are purchased from well
known sources for each piece of equipment
or test to be performed. It
is used each morning, at the beginning of every shift and
when required 2) Additionally, samples are split and determinants
of both splits are compared 3) Random samples
are chosen by the director and repeated measurements of
the determinant are carried
out the next day when the results are compared
VIII-Genetics and
molecular biology: Highly equipped department with all
needed facilities
