Central Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, all under one roof to provide Quality services to the patients.
The department is fitted with fully automated and advanced Clinical Chemistry, Immunoassay, D10-HPLC and Blood gas analysers.
The department is registered with Biorad for EQAS programs for Clinical Chemistry, Immuno Chemistry, Cardiac markers and Urine Chemistry and with CMC Vellore for performing HbA1C assay.
A team of efficient, motivated, knowledgeable and experienced Specialists, Supervisorial and Technical staff are involved in the operation of the sophisticated lab equipment, result interpretation. The staff are dedicated towards upholding the quality of the patient reports in accordance with the predetermined Turn Around Time.
NABL Accredited LAB.
Biochemistry EQAS Certificate.
The Clinical chemistry equipment Siemens Dimension RxL is integrated equipment that has provisions to perform routine clinical chemistry investigations, Iron studies, Enzymes studies, Urine and Fluid chemistry. In addition, the instrument has Integrated Multi sensor Technology which provides simultaneous assay of Electrolytes along with routine chemistry investigations. The Equipment has also got an inbuilt Heterogenous module for Drug analysis.
The Immunochemistry equipment namely the Beckman Coulter DxI 600 and Access2 are employed for performing Thyroid Panel, Reproductive Panel, Cardiac markers, cancer markers, Anaemia profile, Bone metabolic profile and inflammatory profiles like Ferritin and Interleukin 6
The D10 Biorad equipment is employed to assay HbA1C for monitoring of Diabetes Mellitus using the Gold standard High Performance liquid Chromatographic technique. Instrument estimates levels of abnormal haemoglobins which is used for diagnosis of Hemoglobinopathies
