to Tests
Medical biochemistry or clinical chemistry is a branch of medical science dealing with study of compounds and processes occurring in the human body with efforts to understand chemistry within humans to reach at diagnosis or prevention of disease. Health conditions like diabetes, heart attacks, cystic fibrosis, infertility, thyroid problems, and meningitis etc can be interpreted by examining body fluids, including blood, urine, and CSF biochemically.
Department of Biochemistry has fully automated state-of-the-art equipment -Randox Imola for routine biochemistry, Beckman coulter access-2 & Minividas (Biomerieux) for immuno-assays, D10 (Biorad for HPLC), Prolyte for electrolytes.
The department is managed by a full-time qualified Biochemist who looks after routine and special biochemistry, besides taking care of all quality control procedures. At Nanda Diagnostics, our team regularly participates in the proficiency testing program like EQAS conducted by BIO-RAD, USA, and the internal quality control program (IQC) to maintain the highest standard of work culture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tests are included in Clinical Biochemistry?
It comprises a variety of tests, including blood glucose levels, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests, thyroid function tests, etc. The tests help learn about the current health status and detect if your body is prone to any condition.
How long does it take to get the results?
It may vary depending on the specific test. At Nanda Diagnostics, we strive to deliver accurate test results within least possible time of your sample collection. Our results are normally delivered within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the complexity of the tests.
How accurate are the Biochemistry tests at Nanda Diagnostics?
We have fully automatic chemistry and immunoassay analyzers that can do all standard chemical measures precisely and rapidly. Our pathologist and biochemist ensure that our test results are accurate, precise, and quickly delivered.
