Laboratory of microbiology and production quality control

Founded in 1972 based on the former bacteriological laboratory, the Laboratory of Microbiology and Production Quality Control was established to carry out state-level quality control of blood components, blood products, blood substitutes, and preservation solutions.

Today, the laboratory’s scope has significantly expanded. It now performs a wide range of clinical-diagnostic and sanitary-microbiological investigations, as well as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing, for patients with hematological disorders. 

Laboratory Capabilities and Equipment

  • Bact/Alert 3D System
     This system is used for microbiological testing of blood and other sterile biological materials, including cerebrospinal fluid, punctates, exudates, transudates, and synovial fluid.
  • Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
     During testing, the optical density of bacterial suspensions is measured using a modern densitometer, in line with EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) standards. Sensitivity to antibiotics is determined following EUCAST guidelines.
  • Bio-Rad Amplifier
     Utilized for advanced PCR testing, enabling accurate molecular diagnostics.
