LC-MS/MS is a powerful analytical technique. It combines high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a powerful analytical separation technique, with mass spectrometry, a highly sensitive detection technique. This technology provides high-sensitivity detection of conventional and specialized clinical chemistry analytes in areas of therapeutic drug monitoring, detection of inborn errors of metabolism (newborn screening by Tandem mass spectrometry), estimation of 25 Hydroxy Vitamin D, measurement of steroids, hormones and many more.
Our Facility:
  • More than 40 inborn metabolic disorders are detected in one test.
  • In case of Vitamin D analysis, it can accurately quantitate both 25 Hydroxy Vitamin D (25OHD) forms, i.e. 25OHD2 & 25OHD3, which are essential for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with vitamin D disorders.
    3 of our laboratories hold NABL and 2 of our advanced diagnostic centres hold NABH accreditations. Our flagship central reference laboratory holds accreditations from CAP and NABL and certification from ISO 9001:2015 (for quality management system in medical laboratories).
