Biochemistry combines analytical chemistry with aspects of physiology, physical chemistry, pathophysiology and diagnostic medicine.
Clinical Biochemistry uses biochemical knowledge and techniques to assist in the diagnosis of human disease, to follow its progress and to monitor the effect of treatment.
Biochemistry has a wide range of test menu, typically includes automated analysis of blood specimens, including tests related to enzymology, toxicology and endocrinology.
At Apollo we perform different tests on serum or plasma. These tests, fully automated, includes quantitative testing for a wide array of substances, such as lipids, blood sugar, enzymes, and hormones.
Toxicology tests which is mainly focused on testing for pharmaceutical and recreational drugs are performed. Urine and blood samples are the common specimens.
Immunology/Serology uses the process of antigen-antibody interaction as a diagnostic tool. Compatibility of transplanted organs may also be determined with these methods.
Our specialities at Apollo:
Protein electrophoresis: Serum electrophoresis may be used to:
Help in the diagnose and monitoring of various cancers and inflammatory conditions.
Prenatal screening tests: which can identify many genetic disorders by fully automated process following international standards. These tests include blood tests, a specific type of ultrasound and prenatal cell-free DNA screening.
New born screening panel 7: these tests look for developmental, genetic, and metabolic disorders in the new born baby. W perform test panel of 7 for NBS which includes G6PD, TSH, Phenyl alanine, IRT, 17-Hydroxy Progesterone, Galactose and Biotinidase.
Apollo Diagnostics is CAP and NABL accredited lab.
We assure to deliver service excellence by performing wide range biochemical tests by fully automated processes following international standards, providing highly proficient results with shortest turnaround time within the reach of every person in need and at the lowest cost.
