On-site laboratory
Haematology and biochemistry analysers, urinalysis, a microscope for cytology — critical values are available within minutes.
What the laboratory consists of
Click or hover over a part. The descriptions appear one after another.
- 2Haematology analyser
Complete blood count: number and types of blood cells, haematocrit, platelets.
- 1Biochemistry analyser
A biochemistry panel from a single blood sample: kidneys, liver, glucose, electrolytes, proteins. The result is usually available the same day.
- 4Microscope
Assessment of blood smears, urine sediment and cytology during the same visit.
- 3Centrifuge
Separates plasma or serum from the blood cells and prepares urine sediment for assessment.

Biochemistry analyserWhat it is and how it works
Our own laboratory allows us to carry out a complete blood count, a biochemistry panel (kidneys, liver, glucose, electrolytes), a urinalysis with sediment, and microscopic assessment of smears and cytology during a single visit. Specialist tests (histopathology, PCR, hormones) are sent to a reference laboratory, with the results received into the patient's record.
What it offers
A result during the visit means a decision during the visit; there is no need to come back in two days to hear what happens next. In emergencies this is often the deciding difference.
Pre-anaesthetic assessment (STD-01) requires up-to-date blood results; the on-site laboratory makes it possible to obtain them in the morning on the day of the procedure.
