The laboratory in “Astghik” MC operates in accordance with international standards, equipped with the latest generation devices (Roche, Johnson & Johnson, Sysmex).
It includes the following departments:
➤biochemical
➤clinical
➤serological
➤bacteriological
➤cytological
➤immunological
➤PCR (Polymerase chain reaction).
Biochemical Laboratory performs all kinds of biochemical analyses of various biological fluids (blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluids ). Here blood coagulation, hepatic, fat, carbohydrate and trihydrate metabolism tests are performed. Also the body’s acid-base balance analyses are carried out.
Clinical Laboratory implements numerous types of analyses: blood, urine, feces, cerebrospinal and various fluids of cavity; general blood analyses with white blood cell differential, general urine test, coprology of feces, helminthiasis.
Serological testing allows to perform various serological analyses of blood: blood group and Rhesus factor determination, antibody titers in pregnant women, direct Coombs reaction of newborns. The criteria of myocardial and vascular diseases are determined.
Cytological examination secretions, biopsies, various biological materials, (PAP test).
PCR testing allows to perform determination of sexually transmitted diseases, infections, viruses, hepatitis by a Polymerase chain reaction method.
Immunological laboratory tests focus on examination of hormones, vitamins, infections and tumor markers. Bacteriological examination tests are performed based on the quality, time, the challenges and requirements of modern medicine. According to current tendencies, the role of bacteriological laboratory is highlighted in the determination of the sensitivity for antibiotics.
