Biochemical Laboratory at “Acibadem Sistina” Hospital disposes the most sophisticated equipment for performing analyses in all areas of clinical chemistry for the shortest possible time including high expertise and precision. It is provided by networking of all appliances in one information system that, besides the precision, guarantees both accuracy in the work and speed in publishing the results additionally.

“The analyses are performed from a primary blood sample and using a barcode, thus achieving full automation and control of the analytical process, while the possibility of a mistake (human factor) is reduced to minimum”, says Dr. Violeta Dirjanska-Filipche, a specialist in medical biochemistry.

Dr. Philipche points that the Laboratory aims to provide professional and diverse laboratory diagnostics to all in need, both to outpatients and to hospitalized patients.

“The program of analyses includes over 500 parameters used to determine a diagnosis or to monitor course of the disease and the applied therapy. The staff, including a doctor specialist in medical biochemistry, four biologists and twenty one laboratory technicians, keeps a good laboratory practice always trying to provide timely and quality service. High-quality standards are maintained by continuous informing and specialization of the employees, by monitoring the development of clinical-biochemical diagnostics and introducing modern methods of testing. “Labmed” Laboratory from Istanbul regularly supports us and we cooperate constantly, especially in case of rare genetic trials, as well as other rare biochemical analyses. The laboratory is under continuous external quality control and is accredited according to ISO 15189″, says Dr. Filipche.

Determination of parameters in the field of clinical chemistry, immunochemistry, hematology, serology is performed using modern analyzers of renowned world producers.

The laboratory’s vision is to be identified on the market by its specific program of quality services in all areas of clinical biochemical diagnosis, by the reputation recognized by expertise, promptness, capability, quality and possibility to meet the patient requests at any moment.

“We are trying to develop a name that will represent a synonym for laboratory diagnostics”, adds Dr. Philipche.

Otherwise, the laboratory diagnostics is an important factor in the medicine providing objective information about the health of any individual together with other diagnostic indicators. Laboratory trials have an important place in the process of monitoring the disease and the efficacy of therapy applied as well. In the interest of prevention, laboratory tests are recommended to be done every 6 months even in the healthy population.
