Churamani Department for Pathology and Lab Services is dedicated to offering prompt, precise and accurate diagnostic, laboratory and pathology services, helping doctors in the quick treatment and management of medical conditions. Our labs have been lauded with NABL accreditation and are equipped with avant-garde modalities and equipment, enabling rapid high-end procedures and investigations. We bring highly experienced histopathologists, microbiologists, haematologists, pathologists and other doctors under various dedicated sections for Microbiology, Hematology, Oncopathology, Immunohistochemistry, Histopathology, Cytology, Clinical Pathology, Biochemistry & immunology, Serology, Molecular Testing and more.
Our labs stand apart for:
-
One of the few labs to perform liquid biopsies, intraoperative frozen sections, imprint cytology reporting, intraoperative frozen section, squash smears, liver biopsy reporting and more with 100% accuracy and a turnaround time of 20 minutes.
-
Reporting more than 8000 biopsies (small, medium, large and radical) in a year.
-
Reporting more than 3000 cases in cytology annually.
-
Reporting more than 300 bone marrows annually with a turnaround time of one day for bone marrow aspirations.
-
Reporting more than 160 frozen biopsies in a year with a turnaround time of less than 30 mins for intra-operative tissue diagnosis, to determine the nature of the lesion (in both oncological and non-oncological surgeries).
Different laboratory units at Sarvodaya include:
-
Haematology-Our haematology section is fully automated and we have performed>500 tests in a day within TAT.
-
Biochemistry and Immunology - Fully automated section with an output>samples performed a day.
-
Histopathology - Microscopic examination of tissue to study its manifestation. We use global guidelines and give the most comprehensive biopsy reports. We perform intraoperative frozen sections to help surgeons decide the further procedure on the surgery table.
-
Intraoperative crush smear examination is performed and reported within 30mins for valuable investigations in neurosurgery and hemato-oncology cases.
-
Cytology-Diagnosis of disease at the cellular level. Our cytopathology section includes LBC and liquid biopsies and we use international guidelines such as Bethesda Pattern for reporting. We are one of the very few hospitals in Faridabad to make cell blocks from body fluid and subject it to HPE/IHC. This is an extremely cost-effective method which is minimally invasive and helps us in the diagnosis of oncology cases with the identification of the primary site of malignancy by IHC.
-
Microbiology-The Department of Microbiology aims at providing accurate and reproducible results on clinical material by using state-of-the-art equipment within the shortest possible time.
-
Blood cultures are done with BD FX automated system for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria which indicates positivity from 3 hours onward. Identification and antibiotic sensitivity of organisms grown from blood culture can be reported very early through an automated system, which helps in the initiation of early specific antimicrobial therapy in life-threatening infections.
-
Conventional cultures of bacteria from clinical specimens other than blood are carried out on appropriate culture media. Identification and antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria are made with BD Phoenix 100 automated systems.
-
Quality control and quality assurance are strictly implemented with reproducible results from other laboratories by participating in ILC (Inter-lab comparison) and EQAS (External Quality Assessment Scheme).
