MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC & RESEARCH LABORATORY

Derana Laboratories

Molecular diagnostics (MDx) is the rapidly developing area of laboratory medicine that investigates human, viral and microbial genomes and the products they encode.

The genetic revolution created an exciting field of laboratory medicine based on analyzing human genes to better understand diseases, how they develop, and the most effective ways to treat them. Today molecular diagnostics is a game changer for clinical laboratories of all sizes, offering more powerful tools for earlier and more accurate detection of disease and giving laboratories a key role in the emerging field of personalized medicine.

Knowledge of methodology associated with detection and surveillance of pathogens, cancer biomarkers, inherited genetic disorders or other biomarkers is imperative for the current and future professional.

Our state of the art, Molecular Diagnostics laboratory is equipped with real-time thermal cyclers and other state of the art equipment required for molecular diagnosis.

Our team is comprising of highly qualified and well-trained laboratory professionals conduct molecular diagnostic tests utilizing the technologically advanced molecular techniques which generates high quality, qualitative and quantitative test results, with a high level of precision and accuracy.

We offer a wide array of tests at the forefront of molecular diagnostics and precision medicine.
