Intra Operative Consultation (IOC) of Cytologically preparations i.e. touch prep – each additional site
Additional site touch preparation is requested for the rapid interpretation of cytology slides from multiple locations during surgery to facilitate perioperative tissue diagnosis. Multiple resected surfaces are imprinted on glass slides, subjected to rapid staining, and quickly examined under a microscope. These additional site touch preparation slides provide real-time information about cellular morphology and comprehensive […]
Intraoperative Consultation (IOC) with a frozen section—each additional block
This test is requested for rapid and extended interpretation of peri-operative tissue diagnosis. Operated and resected tissue fragments are frozen, rapidly stained, and quickly examined under a microscope. It provides real-time information about nature and tumor margin involvement. Additional blocks are requested for an extensive study to provide additional inputs complementing the initial study to […]
In Situ Hybridization (ISH) for Lambda
In Situ Hybridization (ISH) for Lambda Light Chains is a molecular test that evaluates abnormal lambda light chain expression in related blood cells. Hematological malignancies, commonly plasma cell disorder and multiple myeloma, are evaluated for abnormal light chain production. It involves studying specific fluorescent probes binding to lambda light chain mRNA. Tests aid in the […]
Kappa In Situ Hybridisation (ISH)
Kappa in situ hybridization (ISH) is one of the useful tools in the evaluation of cutaneous B-cell lymphomas and plasma cell neoplasms. The detection of light-chain restriction by ISH is one of the most crucial findings in the differential diagnosis of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia vs. B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation.
In Situ Hybridization (ISH) of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 DNA
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an epitheliotropic virus, and it is possible that high-risk types (HPV 16 and 18) contribute to lung cancer as co-carcinogens. The HPV 16/18 DNA in situ hybridization (ISH) assay can serve as a valuable tool for healthcare professionals to diagnose cervical carcinoma and provide effective interventions.
In situ hybridization of Human Papilloma Virus (ISH HPV) 6/11 DNA
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes 6/11 In situ hybridization assays are performed by healthcare providers to diagnose squamous cell papilloma (SCP) and condylomas acuminatum and provide effective intervention. This assay also aids in the diagnosis of patients with clinically suspected anogenital warts, which rarely develop into cancer.
Iron Stain
The iron stain test serves to identify recent intravascular hemolysis or various types of anemias by detecting hemosiderin released by red blood cells. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to diagnose a range of conditions, including hemochromatosis, hemolytic transfusion reactions, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and thalassemia major. It stands as one of the gold-standard tests for detecting […]
Cytology Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Request
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) involves using a narrow gauge (25–22 G) to collect a lesion sample for microscopic examination. A cytology FNA request helps healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of patients with metastatic or recurrent malignancies. This method is precise for the evaluation of patients with thyroid swellings.
IHC HER2, ER, PR and PDL-1 staining
The IHC HER2, ER, PR, and PDL-1 staining test involves assessing protein expression levels in breast and other cancers using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Tumor issue sections are reacted with specific antibodies against cellular protein antigens, stained, examined under a microscope, and interpreted. This study provides details about cancer subtypes, planning for targeted oncology therapies, predicting […]
Electron Microscopy – Diagnostic
Electron Diagnostic Microscopy provides the highest resolution details of cellular morphology and sub-cellular ultra structures. Fixed tissue sections are dehydrated, resin embedded, and sectioned for electron microscopic examination. Tests are mainly indicated for diagnosing complex neurological, neuromuscular, and kidney disorders. It provides higher-resolution molecular insights beyond optical microscopy, enhancing diagnostic precision and facilitating research.
