Clinical Reference Lab
AXIS has a fully equipped central clinical chemistry laboratory which supports analyses for in-house and multi-center clinical studies. Apart from having a central standard procedure, the presence of an in-house fully equipped clinical laboratory is ideal for investigating blood coagulation parameters or undertaking intensive blood processing protocols.
The laboratory is NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories), ISO 9001:2008 and Brazil-ANVISA accredited.
Standard assays include:
- Standard Hematology and Clinical Chemistry, Serology, Urinalysis,
- Special proteins and hormone analysis
- Drugs of abuse
- Urinalysis (microscopy and dipstick)
- Virology (HIV, HBV, HCV by PCR)
- Immunology/ Serology
- Cytology (cervical PAP smear)
Specialty assays include:
- Platelet aggregation (routinely with up to seven agonists)
- Coagulation factors (routine and special)
- Electrophoresis
- Whole blood/PBMC stimulation assays
The Central Laboratory:
- Provides all necessary materials (sample collection kits, sample storage materials, sample shipping materials and manuals/ instructions)
- Act as logistics coordinator for both incoming and outgoing shipments
- Receive samples, reconcile sample data with the protocol requirements and forward the samples to the laboratory for analysis. All queries are communicated with sites and CRAs to prevent delays in result reporting
- Generate customized result reports accessible online
- Archive lab data
