Meitra Laboratory Medicine is committed to provide accurate, precise, cost-effective reports in par with international standards for patients within in a stipulated time frame by maintaining consistent quality in reporting. The Department of Laboratory Medicine in Meitra hospital was established in 2017 September.

Medical laboratory science is a complex field, embracing a few different disciplines such as Clinical Biochemistry, Hematology, Clinical pathology, Histopathology, cytopathology, Microbiology, and Infectious disease serology & Molecular testing. Meitra laboratory utilizes the latest cutting-edge technology where all specimens are bar coded with a unique number and are tracked throughout the laboratory testing process with an exact chain-of-custody. At the lab, the specimens are stored in a secure facility to make it available for further testing as per the national /international standards.  

Clinical biochemistry is equipped with fully automated integrated analyser for Chemistry & immunology with minimum human intervention.

Test done:

• All routine chemistry test like glucose, Lipid profile, LFT, RFT etc
• Routine Immunology tests include Thyroid function test, Ferritin,
• Cancer marker- CA 125, CA19-9, CEA, AFB, PSA etc.
• Cardiac markers- Troponin I, BNB, CKMB
• Fertility test: FSH, LH, Prolactin, Beta HCG.

Microbiology& infectious Serology offers diagnostic testing in bacteriology, Mycobacteriology, parasitology and infectious serology. Microbiology division has fully automated microbial analyser.

Test done:

• Microbiology test include all routine culture and sensitivity.
• Automated Blood & body fluid culture and sensitivity.
• Minimum Inhibitory Concentration is done for all culture positive isolates.
• All smears and wet mount.
• Infectious serology test include HIV, HCV, HBV and antibody testing for HBV.

Molecular division works on a closed platform which caters PCR results within 3 hours, which includes Covid 19 as well as other infectious panel which include HCV, HBV, TB, H1N1, Dengue and Chikungunya

The phlebotomy section has a sophisticated collection rooms in different locations with dedicated Respiratory sample collection area with negative pressure. All Blood   samples are transported via Pneumatic tube system from all collection points which significantly reduce the TAT.
