Immunology tests assess the immune system’s response to infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and other conditions affecting immune function. The tests assess antibodies, antigens, and other markers that indicate immune activity or dysfunction.

Immunology Tests

  • CD4/CD8 Counts
  • HIV Ab Test (Rapid)
  • HIV Geenius

Virology tests are used to detect and identify viruses in the human body, helping to diagnose viral infections, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment plans.

Virology Tests

  • HIV Viral Load/RNA PCR
  • HBV Viral Load/RNA PCR
  • HCV Viral Load/RNA PCR

Hematology tests focus on blood and its components, helping to diagnose blood-related disorders such as anemia, clotting disorders, blood cancers, and infections. These tests analyze red and white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin levels, and other blood parameters.

Hematology Tests

  • ABO & Rh Blood Group
  • Rare Antibody Screen
  • Cross Matching
  • ESR
  • Blood Film comment
  • CBC/Differential
  • Malaria Parasite Identification
  • Sickle Cell Genotyping/ Hb Electrophoresis
  • APTT, PT and INR
  • Direct antiglobulin test (DAT)

Microbiology tests are used to detect and identify microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites that may cause infections. These tests can identify the specific pathogen and help determine appropriate treatment, including antibiotic sensitivity.

Microbiology Tests

Urinalysis

Microscopies

  • Urine
  • Stool
  • Swab
  • Sputum
  • Gram staining
  • Skin Scrapping
  • Aspirate & Effusions

Cultures

  • Sputum C/S
  • Blood C/S
  • Urine C/S
  • Stool C/S
  • Skin Scrapping

CSF Analysis

Immunoassay tests are laboratory techniques used to detect or measure specific proteins, hormones, drugs, or other substances in a sample usually blood, urine, or saliva by using the immune system’s natural ability to recognize and bind to particular molecules (antigens).

Immunoassay Tests

  • CRP
  • CMV
  • Hepatitis B, C
  • Anti HCV
  • HBsAg (Rapid)
  • HBsAg (Equipment)
  • Anti HBSm, HBc IgGm, Hbe IgG
  • Toxoplasmosis IgG
  • FSH
  • HIV Ag/Ab Combo

Chemistry tests assess the chemical components of blood and body fluids to monitor organ function, detect metabolic disorders, and guide disease management. These tests evaluate various substances, including electrolytes, proteins, hormones, enzymes, and waste products.

JCRC provides comprehensive sample depository services designed to support organizations conducting clinical research, diagnostics, and biomedical science. We offer secure short-term and long-term storage solutions for biological samples to include blood, plasma, serum, etc under controlled conditions ensuring sample integrity through standardized processing, labeling and tracking systems supported by a robust Laboratory Information Management System that enables real-time monitoring, efficient retrieval and full traceability.

In compliance with international standards i.e. Good Laboratory Practice, Good Clinical Practice, and ISO guidelines, we guarantee the highest levels of quality, safety, and confidentiality. Other services include sample aliquoting, quality control testing, anonymization, and secure shipment logistics. These depository services are ideal for research funders, research institutions, healthcare organizations, etc engaged in research, providing a reliable infrastructure for sample management and data security.

JCRC produces high-quality de-ionized water through a multi-stage purification process that includes pre-filtration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and UV sterilization – a process that ensures the removal of dissolved salts, organic impurities, and microbial contaminants, resulting in ultra-pure water with high resistivity suitable for sensitive laboratory applications.

Our de-ionized water used extensively across JCRC’s diagnostic, research, and clinical laboratories for reagent preparation, sample dilution, equipment calibration and molecular biology procedures can be procured by other laboratories for similar purposes.
