Albert's stain Throat swab
The Albert's stain Throat swab test is used to identify specific bacteria in a throat sample, most notably those that can cause diphtheria. It helps in detecting the presence of these microorganisms to guide appropriate treatment.
CULTURE - EAR SWAB
This test involves taking a swab from your ear to grow and identify any bacteria or fungi that might be causing an ear infection. It helps determine the exact cause of symptoms like ear pain, discharge, or hearing changes.
CULTURE - THROAT SWAB

FLUID EXAMINATION ROUTINE, BODY FLUIDS
This test involves a routine examination of various body fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, or peritoneal fluid. It helps identify abnormalities in the fluid's appearance, cell count, and chemical composition, providing clues about underlying health issues.
Fungal stain Specify Body fluid type
This test involves examining a sample of a specific body fluid, such as cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, or joint fluid, under a microscope to identify fungal elements. It's used to detect fungal infections within internal body systems.
Fungus Examination KOH Mount
The Fungus Examination KOH Mount test helps detect the presence of fungal elements in a sputum sample. It involves treating the sample with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to dissolve non-fungal material, making any fungi present easier to see under a microscope. This test is a quick and effective way to screen for fungal infections.
Tissue Culture and Sensitivity(Aerobic)
This test identifies bacteria growing in a tissue sample and determines which antibiotics can effectively treat the infection. It helps doctors choose the best medication for bacterial infections in various body tissues.
Vulvar Culture and Sensitivity
This test identifies bacteria or fungi causing infections in the vulvar area. It helps determine the specific microbe responsible for symptoms like itching, burning, or unusual discharge.
