In the laboratory, where advanced technology devices such as HPLC and Tandem MS are also used, it is aimed to meet test requests coming from its own hospital and from outside.
The test groups studied in the laboratory are as follows:

• Routine biochemistry
• Hematology
• Hormone
• Tumor markers
• Coagulation
• Vitamin
• Allergy
• Autoantibodies
• Drugs and toxic substances
• Provocative tests
