Laboratory Services
The Department of Laboratory Services at MIOT International offers round-the-clock services in all branches of laboratory medicine. Ranked eighth internationally, the sophisticated 6,000 sq. ft facility has state-of-the-art diagnostic technology and a full-time, dedicated team of pathologists and microbiologists.
Integrated, Sophisticated, Centralised laboratory services
MIOT International laboratory services include clinical pathology, clinical chemistry, endocrinology and serology, haematology, immuno-haematology and coagulation, microbiology, anatomic pathology and cytology, transplantation Immunology, flow cytometry, and molecular diagnostics.
The laboratory adopts International Quality management systems, is staffed with excellent technicians who are mandatorily kept updated with the latest protocols and methodologies, and work closely with laboratory physicians.
Quality assurance:
- Accredited to ISO 15189:2015(NABL), NABH MEDLAB program
- Sole Indian Member of Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), USA
- Participated in COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS EQAS program scoring globally acceptable values for the past 3 years.
Operations:
- Total Laboratory automation – 1st in India to adopt
- 20% quicker turnaround time for basic tests when compared to other hospitals
- Total bar-coded system from tubes to result enhancing patient safety
- Competent medical professionals 24X7x365
The centralised laboratory, right on campus, enables discussion between pathologists, lab-medicine experts, doctors and surgeons. Patients benefit from an accurate and quicker diagnosis which, in turn, means quicker treatment and a shorter hospital stay.
Clinical chemistry, endocrinology and serology
The clinical chemistry, endocrinology and serology division at MIOT International is equipped with three fully-automated analysers with a throughput of more than 2600 tests per hour. Common metabolic panel, electrolytes and esoteric tests are run on these machines.
The division plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis as it has the facilities to run fully-automated chemistry and immunoassay analysers. Biomarkers for thyroid disorders, subfertility and osteoporosis enable physicians and surgeons to manage them. Tumour, hepatitis and certain critical-care markers help to screen, diagnose and prognosticate disease, as well as reduce utility antibiotics. The division also plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of various autoimmune diseases, myeloma and renal diseases, as well as the detection of HIV, HBV and HCV.
SYSMEX DI-60
- Complete Hematology Integration in a Single Platform.
- Reduce Review Time for Differentials.
- Standardize Your Lab’s Differential Results.
- Enhance Technologists’ Morphology Skills.
Clinical Pathology
The clinical pathology section has a fully-automated urine chemistry analysis along with urine flow cytometry. It enables the early detection of kidney disease and prevention of kidney failure, as well as the identification of abnormalities in urine sediment which helps in early diagnosis of urinary tract infection.
Transplantation immunology and molecular diagnostics
The laboratory’s advanced transplantation immunology and molecular diagnostics division supports the organ transplant team with the following:
- HLA typing and detection, donor-specific antibodies, panel-reactive antibody identification, flow crossmatch and tissue crossmatch, using advanced multiplex testing systems
- Viral loads with its automated RT-PCR machine
- Renal and skin biopsies and auto-immune disorder detection with immunofluorescence testing
- Flow cytometry studies for immunophenotyping of blood cancer
- Therapeutic drug monitoring using the automated immunoassay analyser
- Evaluation of genetic markers for cancers using FISH and RTPCR
Anatomic pathology and cytology
The anatomic pathology and cytology division uses a cryostat for its frozen section, which facilitates intra-operative consultations between surgeon and pathologist. Its cytospin facilities aid in cytology and FNAC consultations and immunohistochemistry services are invaluable for challenging cases and in onco-pathology consultations.
APERIO CS2
- Image analysis.
- Cancer Research.
- Tissue Microarrays.
- Cell Biology.
- Local & global sharing.
Haematology
The haematology division is equipped with an automated hematology analyser with reticulocyte and body-fluid analysis. These systems enable the detection of haematological disorders like anemia and leukemia. The division is also equipped with:
- Capillary electrophoresis for detection of abnormal haemoglobins like thalassemia, haemoglobin S, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, etc.
- Automated Coauglometer for individual factor assay to diagnose and monitor diseases like haemophilia. Some of the tests performed are protein C, protein S, antithrombin III and lupus anticoagulant.
Centre of Excellence in Clinical Chemistry and Hematology
- A wide variety of clinical chemistry and immunoassays (250 Assay, 140 tests per hour).
- Novel Biomarkers for patients’ safety.
- Achieving 6 Sigma levels for most of the assays.
- Flag bearer of quality.
- Diagnostic Suite with artificial intelligence.
Microbiology
The microbiology division at MIOT International is involved in bacteriology, mycology, mycobacteriology and hospital surveillance. The automated blood and body-fluid culture systems and antibiotic sensitivity testing system helps in the early detection of infection. The mycobacteriology section is fully equipped with BS-III labs and renders molecular testing for detection, antibiotic sensitivity and resistance testing for mycobacterium.
