The lab process and test blood, urine, CSF and other body fluids, stool, and also miscellaneous fluids for routine and special biochemical tests catering to icddr,b internal stake holders, researchers and outpatient clients. The versatile menu includes routine biochemical tests, hormones and vitamins, cardiac and sepsis markers, therapeutic drug levels (Methotrexate, cyclosporine), and number of other disease markers like VMA, Metanephrine, Ceruloplasmin, etc. Recently the lab has introduced artificial intelligence based screening for diabetic retinopathy which allows an effective, simple and non intrusive solution for early detection of diabetic retinopathy for diabetic patients.

The laboratory is equipped with state of art autoanalyzers integrated with Laboratory Information System. The integration facilitates automatic test request download as well as electronic data transfer to electronic patient file with tracking and traceability throughout the process, insuring integrity and low turnaround time. Pioneering in the field for quality practices, the laboratory is the first in this region to participate in External Quality Assurance Scheme dated back to 1978.
