The Biochemistry Unit conducts automated assays on one Hitachi 912 and two Hitachi 911s. These systems perform fully automated, computerized, random access chemistry analyses that utilize a variety of technologies. There are two types of photometric assays (end point and rate) on these instruments for assaying parameters such as glucose and parameters for kidney and liver function and risk factors for coronary artery disease. Proteins such as immunoglobulins, complement fractions, glycated hemoglobin and microalbumin are assayed by immunoturbidimetric methods.   Biochemistry Services Offered Procedures & Equipment Speciality Clinics Doctors Q & A Sweat Analysis for Cystic Fibrosis Delivering exemplary, patient-centered, efficient and effective general medical care Encouraging preventive medicine and health promotion Providing consultative care for patients on non-internal medicine services Providing consultative care for patients on non-internal medicine services Specimens for hormone assays, tumour markers, therapeutic drugs and infectious disease serology are analyzed by electro-chemoluminescence and fluorescent polarisation and micro particle enzyme immunoassays using a random access, fully automated analyzer. Blood gas analysis and estimation of electrolytes are performed on instruments that utilize ion selective electrodes. A co-oximeter estimates different hemoglobin fractions. Courses   CME Jobs
