The Clinical Laboratory in Coordination with the Department of Pathology continuously pursue quality and safe healthcare services to all by acquiring equipment that will aid in a faster diagnosis of diseases. One major recent advancement of the department is the automated Immunohistochemical staining for antibody receptors. These are as follows:

​

• Breast Panel

• ERA

• PRA

• Herceptest

• Lymphoma Panel

• CD3

• CD15

• CD20

• CD30

• CD45/ LCA

​

​

                                   Other Antibodies

​

•  Calretinin

•  Chromogranin A

•  TTf-1

•  S100

•  Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE)

•  Desmin

•  Pancytokeratin

•  Epithelial Membtane Antigen (EMA)

•  Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA)

•  E-cadherin 

​

​

​

                Moreover, the Microbiology Section offers Gene-Xpert tests in diagnosing the following diseases:

 

                                               Tuberculosis (TB) -MTB-RIF with sputum sample,

                                               Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea (CT-NG) with urine sample and

                                               Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) BCR-ABL chromosome.

​

​

 

This greatly reduces the time to diagnose such diseases from 6 weeks to as early as 1 day.
