Clinical Laboratory Services
Clinical laboratory services are tests provided by a medical lab that aid in diagnosis and treatment of patients. There are many types of clinical laboratory services, including:
- blood count
- urinalysis
- cholesterol tests
- hemoglobin tests
- spinal fluid analysis
- liver function tests
- immunology and allergy testing
- diagnostic testing
- transfusion medicine
- pathology, and
- therapeutic drug monitoring
If you anticipate a high volume of analysis or lack the necessary budget or space to procure the necessary instrumentation to perform your own tests, than you may want to consider soliciting a clinical laboratory service. Clinical laboratory services may vary from lab to lab, so if there are specific tests needed, it is best to determine where they are available. Looking for a service that can accommodate all of your testing needs will allow a one-stop shop for your diagnostic requirements.
