Range of Advanced Clinical Laboratory Services
The clinical researches and tests conducted in clinical laboratories have an essential part to play in the detection, treatment and diagnosis of any chronic ailment. Medical experts practicing in these laboratories are known as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists. They perform a host of activities such as examining tissues, cells and other body fluids. In addition to that, they match blood samples for transfusions and examine the level of drug in a patient’s blood assessing how the patient is responding to a particular drug. They also use automated medical devices, cell counters, microscopes and other innovative new age equipments.

In the recent past, there has been an increase of medical activities in India. As a result, eminent clinical research organizations (CRO’s) today specializes in advanced clinical laboratory services. This kind of a laboratory is the nucleus of numerous studies, for instance Phase 1 Study and other research activities approved by NABL and CAP.
The clinical laboratory owns testing program with international and national labs for retaining quality control. It is also equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, revolutionary medical devices along with impeccable logistics. However, the crucial aspect of a clinical laboratory is their highly experienced and trained personnel, who are supported by advanced technological devices, for instance the Laboratory Information Management System.
