The entire operations is facilitated by a team of highly dedicated, sincere &amp; experienced technical staff who are fully committed to maintain the high standard of work &amp; accuracy. To achieve this, the laboratory is always vigilant and quality practices are adhered to. The Laboratory works on a 24&#215;7 hour schedule throughout the year and has four qualified Consultants to enable smooth, round-the-clock functioning across Departments.<\/p>\n<p>All three Departments have been successfully participating in External Quality Assurance Programs conducted at National level by organizations like AIIMS, IAMM and CMC Vellore. Quality control programs as recommended by the instrument manufacturers are strictly adhered to. The laboratory also has a well-structured DMLT training programme in place.<\/p><div class=\"right_body\">\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Biochemistry:<\/strong><br>The discipline of Biochemistry deals with  the study of the chemistry behind biological processes and the synthesis of  biologically active molecules, thus assisting the Clinician in uncovering the  pathophysiology of disease processes. The Department performs routine clinical  biochemistry assays on high throughput fully automated analyzers. Serum as well  as urinary electrolyte estimation, liver function tests, glucose and lipid  profiles, urine chemistry including urinary albumin, protein, as well as 24  hour urinary urea, creatinine etc are also evaluated routinely. <br>\n  Analytes required in critical care  medicine like C-reactive protein, Procalcitonin, d-Dimer, CK-MB, CPK, HS Trop\u2013I, NT-proBNP and  IL-6 etc as well as those essential in diabetic care like HbA1c are routinely  evaluated. The laboratory also carries out quantification of tumor markers like  PSA. Hormone and vitamin assays performed include full thyroid profile (T3, T4,  FT4 with TSH). prolactin. vit.D, vit.B12 and folic acid. Body fluid chemistry  analysis on ascitic, pleural, pericardial and cerebrospinal fluid samples are also  performed. <br>\n  To this end, the laboratory is equipped  with state of the art instruments like Medica Easylyte, Cobas Integra 400 Plus,  Cobas c 111, Cobas e 411, bioM\u00e9rieux mini Vidas and Bio Rad D-10.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microbiology:<\/strong><br>Microbiology is the branch concerned with  the diagnosis of infectious diseases. The Microbiology section in our Hospital  is equipped to perform various routine stains as well as Culture &amp;  Antibiotic Sensitivity testing on bacterial pathogens. <br>\n  The Laboratory is equipped with specific  technical staff and equipments to perform this testing manually and on  automated systems. Automated culture facilities like BacT Alert are available  for testing blood and body fluids. The Antibiotic sensitivity interpretation is  done both manually and on automated system like Vitek 2. Routine fungal stains and  fungal culture are carried out in addition. Serological tests for Dengue (NS1.  IgG, IgM) , Scrub Typhus IgM, HIV I\/II, anti HCV and Hbs Ag are performed by  ELISA and on platforms like Cobas e 411. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Hematology and Clinical Pathology : <\/strong><br>The departments of hematology and  clinical pathology perform a wide variety of testing on whole blood, serum,  urine, cerebrospinal fluids and other body fluids on a daily basis. The  laboratory is equipped with hematology analyzers like Sysmex XN-350 and Sysmex  XP-100. Routine coagulation studies are performed on the Sysmex CA 101 analyzer.  Peripheral smear examination, bone marrow aspirate cytology and reticulocyte  estimation studies are done additionally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cytology and histopathology : <\/strong><strong> <\/strong><br>Reporting of fine needle aspiration  samples (both USG\/CT \u2013 guided and image- unassisted) , bronchoalveolar lavage  (BAL) fluid, serous effusions with\/without cell block , gynecological  exfoliative cytology (Pap stains) as well as histopathology specimens are  performed routinely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<style>\nul, ol {\n    margin-left: 10px; padding:0px;\n}\n<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"282\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/calcuttaheart.byethost4.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-282x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bio-Rad-D-10\" class=\"wp-image-1358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-963x1024.jpg 963w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-768x817.jpg 768w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-1445x1536.jpg 1445w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-1926x2048.jpg 1926w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bio-Rad-D-10-555x590.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"286\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/calcuttaheart.byethost4.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-286x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sysmex-XP-100\" class=\"wp-image-1359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-978x1024.jpg 978w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-768x804.jpg 768w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-1467x1536.jpg 1467w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-1955x2048.jpg 1955w, https:\/\/calcuttaheartclinic.org\/newv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sysmex-XP-100-563x590.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hospital has a modern pathological laboratory, the quality and accuracy of its reports assisting the Clinicians in making accurate clinical decisions.
