Hematology Unit:

This unit is considered one of the main sections of the laboratory and performs tests to estimate blood components such as (complete blood picture - blood fluidity - sedimentation rate) and through the results, various blood diseases and their causes are diagnosed and accordingly determine the treatment plan, such as blood cancers, anemia and infections, as well as detecting any defect in the function of the bone marrow by bone marrow aspirate and biopsy.

Special devices of the unit:

• Automation Cell Counter analyzers:     

•  1- Sysmex XN-1000 (7-part Differential)  

•  2-Beckman coulter DXH 800 (5-part Differential)

•  3-Beckman coulter DXH 500 (5-part Differential)

•  4-Sysmex XP 300 (3-part Differential)

• Automation Coagulation Analyzer:     

• Sysmex CA 600

 

 

Chemistry unit:  

 

The chemistry unit includes many devices that are used to perform a range of important analyzes, including liver function, kidney function, sugar and fat analysis, as it helps the doctor to follow up the health status before, during and after tumor treatment and surgeries, as well as measuring the percentage of minerals in the blood. In addition to the electrophoresis device for proteins, as it integrates with the hematology unit in the diagnosis of blood diseases.

Electrophoresis Analyzer: Mini Cap Sebia

 

Immunology unit:

 

The unit performs blood tests for tumor markers, viruses and hormones, through which we monitor the response of patients and the suitability of their health status for treatment during the treatment period.

Special devices of the unit:

• Tumor Marker & Virology and Hormones Analyzers:                  

•  1-Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT

• 2-Siemens BN-Prospec                                                                                                                             

• 3-Beckman Coulter Access 2

• 4-Biomerieux Mini Vidas

 

Microbiological unit:

It diagnoses the causes of bacterial and fungal infections using the latest devices (MALDI-TOF, Biofire) and techniques that depend on molecular biology, ensuring rapid and accurate diagnosis of the microbe, in addition to conducting sensitivity tests to know the appropriate antibiotics for treatment as well as can identify the most appropriate antibiotics by knowing the different methods of bacterial resistance to these antibiotics and thus contributes to preventing the spread of these bacteria and also rationalizing the use of antibiotics.

The unit's equipment:

• a- Automation organism Identification:        

• Biomerieux Vitek MS

• Automation organism Identification & sensitivity detected:            

• Biomerieux Vitek 2 Compact

• b- Automation Blood Culture system:

• 2- BD Bactet FX 40

•  Automation organism identifier Using Multiplex PCR:   Biomerieux Bio fire Film Array

 

Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics unit:

 Chromosomal abnormalities and genetic mutations that characterize different types of cancer are identified and used for diagnosis and to determine the likelihood of response to treatment.

• The unit's equipment:

• Fluorescence microscope, Analysis software, Hybridizer

• Bio-Rad Real Time PCR                                                                 

• Nucleic Acid extractor

• Gene expert

• Gel Documentation

• Conventional PCR

​

 

Flow Cytometry unit:

It uses advanced techniques to diagnose acute and chronic leukemia cases by determining the immunological classification of cells to choose the appropriate treatment protocol according to the diagnosis and follow up the response to treatment.
