Laboratory analyses

Laboratory tests we perform in «Manufactura» clinic is somewhat limited in the scope of our services and cannot compete at the level of a full range of tests provided by powerful centers of laboratory medicine. However, the purpose of having our own laboratory in our medical center structure was based on intention to ensure our doctors with fast up to immediate and high-quality diagnostic material done at the level of international standards, with appropriate laboratory equipment and by the trained staff. Thanks to this, analyses, including urgent ones, needed to all departments of the clinic - from the consultation department to intensive care units - are carried out with the correct preparation of the patient, in compliance with rules required for collection of biomaterial, without violating the deadlines from the moment of it collecting along with sparing a cold chain in its storage.

The our laboratory has a modern equipment, where the intervention of personnel in research is minimized and the risk of analytical errors are reduced to zero. The laboratory has accreditation according to international and national standards and has passed external laboratory quality control. Specialists of our laboratory are not only competent in the details of laboratory research, but also have thorough medicine knowledge and are ready to give necessary answers to doctors who are diagnosing.
