Clinical chemistry (also known as chemical pathology, clinical biochemistry, or medical biochemistry) is the area of clinical pathology that is generally concerned with the analysis of bodily fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (not to be confused with medicinal chemistry). Pathology Lab in Raipur specializes in conducting these crucial diagnostic tests to aid in medical diagnosis and treatment.
Most current laboratories are now highly automated to accommodate the high workload typical of a hospital laboratory. Tests performed are closely monitored and quality controlled.
All biochemical tests come under chemical pathology. These are performed on any kind of body fluid, but mostly on serum or plasma. The serum is the yellow watery part of blood that is left after blood has been allowed to clot and all blood cells have been removed. This is most easily done by centrifugation, which packs the denser blood cells and platelets to the bottom of the centrifuge tube, leaving the liquid serum fraction resting above the packed cells. This initial step before analysis has recently been included in instruments that operate on the "integrated system" principle. Plasma is in essence the same as serum, but is obtained by centrifuging the blood without clotting. Plasma is obtained by centrifugation before clotting occurs. The type of test required dictates what type of sample is used.
