Our Services
Five specialist divisions delivering comprehensive molecular diagnostics across genetics, pathology, oncology, microbiology, and biochemistry.
Genetics
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Panels — hereditary cancer syndromes including BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome (MLH1, MLH2, MLH6, PMS2), and TP53 testing using FDA-approved AI-assisted genomic analysis tools.
Carrier Screening — expanded panels for cystic fibrosis (CFTR gene), spinal muscular atrophy (SMN1), and Fragile X syndrome (FMR1) for prospective parents and at-risk individuals.
BRCA1/2Lynch SyndromeTP53CFTRSMN1FMR1NGS
Pathology
Liquid Biopsy — ctDNA assays (Guardant360, FoundationOne Liquid) for minimal residual disease monitoring, therapy response, and early recurrence detection without invasive tissue sampling.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — protein expression profiling on tissue sections. Flow Cytometry — immunophenotyping of haematological malignancies and lymphocyte subsets.
Tumour Mutational Burden (TMB) — a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response. Spatial profiling of the tumour microenvironment, including CD8+ T-cell infiltration mapping for immunotherapy candidacy.
Syndromic PCR Panels — BioFire FilmArray for respiratory, bloodstream, and meningitis/encephalitis panels. Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF for rapid tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance detection.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Detection — mecA gene (MRSA), carbapenemase genes (KPC, NDM), and fungal PCR for Aspergillus and Candida. Serologic biomarker panels.

Biochemistry
Mass Spectrometry — high-resolution quantification of metabolites, proteins, and small molecules. Toxicology Screening — opioids and benzodiazepines panels. Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) for vancomycin and tacrolimus.
Point-of-Care Critical Care — i-STAT platform for bedside lactate, glucose, and arterial blood gas (ABG) in critical care settings.
