On-site capability and partner network
Technology for timely results
Turnaround depends on the test, sample quality, analytical batch, quality controls and validation. Not every result can be issued immediately.
5-part blood count
Red cells, white cells and platelets with neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil and basophil differential.
ichroma™ II
Fluorescence immunoassay for selected hormones and biomarkers when the cartridge is active, controlled and validated.
PCR / NAAT
Molecular detection of HPV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV or SARS-CoV-2 according to available kit, specimen and protocol.
Pathology unit
Receipt, identification and traceability of cytology and biopsy specimens, with processing and reporting under the authorised pathway.
Partner laboratory network
Genetics, confirmations and highly specialised tests are referred when external technology is required.
Fast turnaround with quality control and validation
Many routine tests may be available the same day when processed on site, quality controls are acceptable and no repeat is required. Cultures, cytology, biopsies, genetics and confirmations take longer.
CBC and many chemistry tests: analytical phase in minutes.
Hormones and biomarkers: according to the available ichroma™ II cartridge.
PCR: timing depends on specimen, controls and batch organisation.
Cultures, cytology, biopsies, genetics and confirmations need more time.
