Range of Advanced Clinical Laboratory Services

							                       Range of Advanced Clinical Laboratory Services

The clinical researches and tests conducted in clinical laboratories have an essential part to play in
the detection, treatment and diagnosis of any chronic ailment. Medical experts practicing in these
laboratories are known as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists. They perform a host
of activities such as examining tissues, cells and other body fluids. In addition to that, they match blood
samples for transfusions and examine the level of drug in a patient’s blood assessing how the patient is
responding to a particular drug. They also use automated medical devices, cell counters, microscopes
and other innovative new age equipments.


Clinical Laboratory services offered by Indian CRO’s


In the recent past, there has been an increase of medical activities in India. As a result, eminent clinical
research organizations (CRO’s) today specializes in advanced clinical laboratory services. This kind of a
laboratory is the nucleus of numerous studies, for instance Phase 1 Study and other research activities
approved by NABL and CAP.


The clinical laboratory owns testing program with international and national labs for retaining quality
control. It is also equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, revolutionary medical devices along with
impeccable logistics. However, the crucial aspect of a clinical laboratory is their highly experienced and
trained personnel, who are supported by advanced technological devices, for instance the Laboratory
Information Management System. This indicates that for any online information transfer the turnaround
time is less with excellent levels of consistent and quality.
Other than helping in clinical trials, the clinical laboratory services include a host of investigations. They
are:-


    ●   Hematology
    ●   Urine Analysis
    ●   Coagulation Studies
    ●   Biochemistry
    ●   Clinical Pathology
    ●   Endocrinology
    ●   Serology
    ●   Inflammatory/Immune markers
    ●   Infectious Disease Markers
    ●   Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
    ●   Tumor Markers
    ●   Lipid Profile
    ●   Liver Function Test
    ●   Anemia Profile
    ●   Renal Profile
    ●   Diabetic Profile
    ●   Biomarkers
    ●   Capabilities for other tests


This apart, regulatory compliance services & QA are also an important aspect of leading Indian CRO’s
offering clinical laboratory services. This includes a dedicated team responsible for audit compliance
and regulatory services supported by a vast knowledge pool on regulatory processes and innovative
liaison with numerous regulatory agencies that ensure efficient in medical trial approval processes.
With medical science improving in a huge way in the Indian subcontinent essential actions are taken
to modify and renovate the existing clinical laboratories as per the CRO’s requirements. This helps in
advanced treatment and better drug development.
