An array of the menu is offered over 100 assays on body fluids, blood, and urine in a day. Specialised prenatal screening for HIV, Hepatitis, tumor markers, hormones, and vitamins are offered using high-pressure liquid chromatography, radioimmunoassay, ELISA methods, chemiluminescence and fluorescence polarization.

The Clinical Cytogentics lab analyses the chromosome for peripheral blood, tissues, bone marrow and more clinical specimens. The high-resolution banding or FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) are used to analyse the specimens. Microdeletion syndromes like Prader-Willi, Miller-Dieker, DiGeorge, Smith-Magenis, Angelman and Williams Syndromes are analysed using FISH test. Malignant hematologic disorders and solid tumors are diagnosed using FISH Oncology tests.

The Clinical Immunology Lab provides a host of protein electrophoresis assays and autoantibody tests, apart from viscosity measurement, syphilis serology, and cryoglobulin evaluation. Some of the assay methods used include indirect immunofluorescence, high-resolution protein electrophoresis, enzyme immunoassays, linear immunoassays, nephelometry, and immunofixation.

Anderson Diagnostics provides a host of immunophenotyping services and hematopathology consultation. Our Flow Cytometry lab is headed by a regular hematopathologist. The TDT assays are conducted by the hematopathologists required for diagnostic triage. Sophisticated molecular diagnosis is conducted on a need basis.

Our Histocompatibility lab collaborates with Solid Organ Transplant team to assess immunological risks in pre and post transplant and prevent graft rejection and monitor treatment. Our lab performs HLA typing especially for disease related studies like Narcolepsy, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Uveitis, Bird Shot Retinopathy among others. The screening for HLA typing and anti HLA antibody is performed for transfusion support.
