Biochemistry Lab

Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory

Our laboratory was started in  April 2005 and the hospital services were started in  May 2006. It is a  fully automated, air conditioned, computerized and well equipped laboratory providing patient care services by 24×7.

We are having 18 technical staff to provide lab services and round the clock emergency services in the hospital.

Also our lab is connected to Laboratory Information System/ Hospital Information System for electronic reporting of results to the clinical departments for the betterment of patients care.

Laboratory Internal Quality (IQ) is maintained with BioRad Quality Control. Externally laboratory quality is assessed by External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) conducted by CMC, Vellore.

Achievements of Biochemistry Clinical Lab

The departmental laboratory participates in the “ACBI/CMC External Quality Assurance Scheme” conducted by CMC, Vellore since 2009.
