We analyze serology for diagnosing various medical conditions by studying the components of blood serum, which is a liquid portion of blood after it has clotted. This examines the presence of antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system to fight off infections.
We use IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) is a laboratory technique that uses fluorescent dyes to visualize specific molecules by detecting it. This mainly gets attached to an antibody, which binds to its specific target molecule. This helps in identifying specific cell types for diagnostic and research purpose.

While Serology deals with tests like Antibody Tests for HIV, PR3 - ANTI NEUTROPHILIC CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODY (C-ANCA), Widal Test, Hepatitis, and COVID-19, VDRL Test, Phosphatidylserine IgG antibody, Antigen Tests, Rapid Diagnostic Tests, and Complement Fixation Test.
IFA focuses on detecting certain antigens and antibodies in samples, which includes tests like, Syphilis Test, Rabies Test, Toxoplasmosis Test, and Leishmaniasis Test.
The diagnostic process is crucial for accurately identifying diseases, allowing for targeted treatment, early detection, and efficient monitoring. It ensures patient safety, promotes preventive care, and is cost-effective by preventing unnecessary procedures. Overall, it significantly enhances patient outcomes and effectively manages health conditions.
Most pathology test reports are dispatched with the same day. Although some tests may take longer time and get dispatched within 1 to 2 days.
Consulting with your healthcare provider ensures proper diagnosis through clinical history, specimen details, microscopic and gross description, for further personalized treatment plans, and intake of accurate medications.
