Immunoassays use state of the art advanced automated technologies to detect and quantify a specific macromolecule of interest in solution-(analyte) by using an antibody reagent that binds to it specifically and selectively in an immunological reaction. This technique is used in a wide variety of applications. These include: hormones, tumor markers, cardiac markers, infectious diseases such as Hepatitis B, specific proteins such as ASOT or CRP, therapeutic drugs such as digoxin or phenytoin.
Serology means the detection of antibody to a particular antigen. Examples are Widal, RPR, TPHA, Chlamydia.
Immunology looks at auto immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and its follow up. Our well trained and highly skilled biomedical scientist perform and interpret these test results for our satisfied clients.
