medical analysis laboratory
 

 

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
