Biochemistry

The Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory located in JSS Hospital is the largest NABL-accredited biochemistry laboratory in Mysuru, with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. It caters to the diagnostic needs of clinicians and patients across four districts and provides services round the clock. The scope of services and number of tests and test panels have been ever-expanding to cater to the diverse patient population needs, thereby minimizing the number of tests referred to specialized centers in metropolitan cities.

In order to adhere to good laboratory practices, the laboratory has implemented internal and external quality assurance programs to ensure quality in the testing process. Our policy is to ensure the release of the ‘right report to the right patient at the right time’.

The biochemistry department possesses a team of proficient technicians and qualified consultants. It is equipped with high-throughput fully automated analyzers such as automated clinical chemistry, electrolyte and immunoassay analyzers, blood gas analyzers, osmometer, turbidimetric and nephelometric assays, HbA1c analyzers, facilities for new-born screening, protein and immunofixation electrophoresis, HbA2 variant measurement for hemoglobinopathies, and maternal serum screening. Our testing capacity exceeds 3000 tests per day, with an efficient turnaround time. The laboratory facility provides training for PhD scholars and MD (biochemistry & pathology) postgraduate students. Students of MBA Hospital Administration, MSc (Medical Biochemistry), MSc Clinical Embryology, MSc Medical Genetics, BSc MLT and Nursing, and BSc Medical Genetics are also trained in the Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory. The teaching staff and consultants are also actively involved in various research activities and guide the students in various research projects at the National and International levels.
