Bio-chemistry uses automated analyzers to test for all kinds of metabolic chemicals, hormones, and drugs from plasma and serum Some of the most common tests include: cholesterol, lipid panels, potassium, cardiac markers, pregnancy, thyroid, and drugs of abuse testing.

Hematologist performs complete blood counts (CBCs) and differentials on blood and body fluids. The technologist uses automated analyzers and a microscope to perform this testing, CBCs are one of the most common laboratory tests requested by physicians and get information such as the white blood count (WBC), red blood cell count/ hemoglobin, and platelet count all at once.

Immunology is the study of the immune system and is a very important branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy and cancer.

Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. As a biological discipline, the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment in question but by their way of life.

Microbiologists culture specimens from potential infection sites looking for bacterial, fungal, and/ or viral infectious agents. Infectious bacteria can then be tested against different antibiotics to determine if they would be effective drugs to treat that infection.

The mole (symbol: mol) is the unit of measurement for amount of substance in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly 6.02214076×10²³ particles, which may be atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons.

Serologic tests are blood tests that look for antibodies in your blood. They can involve a number of laboratory techniques. Different types of serologic tests are used to diagnose various disease conditions.
All the serological tests have one thing in common. They all focus on proteins made by the immune system. This system of our body helps to keep you healthy by destroying foreign invaders that can make you ill.

The aim is to get a specimen (sample) of urine from the middle of your bladder. Urine is normally sterile (no bacteria present). If bacteria are found in the sample, it means that the urine is infected.
A midstream sample is best as the first bit of urine that you pass may be contaminated with bacteria from the skin. A urine bottle will be provided by the centre.
