Flow Cytometry
- Department is skill/experience/technology driven and is looked after by a team of doctors and flow cytometry technologists with experience of 15-20 years in this field.
- Assays are complete US-FDA IVD compliant, as the Instrument, reagents and the software modules are IVD certified.
- Automatic gating in certain tests removes accidental errors, which may occur in a non-IVD software module with manual template.
- Department flow cytometers can run 6/8 colour and 10 colour assays.
- Monitoring of minimal residual disease analysis for B and T ALL (MRD sensitivity: 0.01%) done in the department offers a way to precisely assess early treatment response and detect relapse.
- Department is NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) & CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited.
- Regularly participates in the CAP – Proficiency Testing program and Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program (ILCP).
