Info Panel

In Biochemistry we use a combination of modern analytical platforms and established manual techniques to detect and measure compounds of interest in biological fluids, mainly blood or serum. This service helps Healthcare Providers to diagnose, screen and monitor their patient's condition and provide the best management possible.

Biochemistry

Based in the Duncan Building, we run a 24/7 service and can provide advice on any of our services at any time of the day. To assist users of our service, we have produced a Laboratory Handbook that contains information such as:

  • Correct sample tube for the tests available
  • Pre-sampling requirements (e.g. fasting patients
  • Reference Ranges
  • Interpretation of results
  • Advice on point-of-care devices
  • Minimum patient data requirements
