Our Laboratory Specializations

1. Microbiology

Microbiology involves the use of biological, biochemical, or chemical methods to detect, identify, and enumerate microorganisms.

How does Microbiology Work? Microorganisms are studied using a range of advanced technologies, most commonly microbial cultures, immunoassays (such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays or ELISAs), and polymerase chain reactions (PCRs).

• Microbial Cultures: A method of multiplying microorganisms by growing them in specific liquid or solid culture media under controlled laboratory conditions. These are used to determine the exact type of organism, its abundance in the sample, and its susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.
• Immunoassays: These use specific antibodies to detect and identify proteins unique to a target microorganism, providing critical qualitative and quantitative data.
• PCR Testing: Nucleic acid-based tests enable the rapid amplification and recognition of segments of DNA or RNA unique to the microorganism under investigation.

2. Molecular Biology & Advanced PCR Diagnostics

Our advanced real-time quantitative micro PCR systems bring high-end technology right to the point-of-care.

With a large and growing menu of assays for infectious diseases, this rapid, portable technology enables early and accurate diagnosis and the initiation of correct treatment right at the first point of contact. The platform operates independently of traditional heavy infrastructure, providing a complete end-to-end solution for disease diagnosis and bringing a paradigm shift to the control and management of devastating infectious diseases.
