Laboratory Sections
Molecular Diagnostics
The Molecular Diagnostics (PCR) Laboratory utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and advanced genetic testing methodologies to detect infectious agents, hereditary disorders, immune-related conditions, and clinically significant mutations. By directly analyzing genetic material, PCR testing provides high sensitivity and specificity, enabling early disease detection, personalized treatment planning, and improved prognostic evaluation. The laboratory supports multiple clinical specialties including hematology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, and internal medicine. Beyond routine infectious
