Hematology Laboratory
The Hematology Laboratory provides essential support for preclinical and
translational research by enabling
rapid, comprehensive on-site assessment of the physiological status
of animals without the need to rely on
external laboratories. The infrastructure has been designed specifically to support
ongoing work with animal
models used in both basic and applied research.
The laboratory is equipped with:
A biochemical analyzer capable of measuring a wide range of parameters, including
liver and
kidney function markers, glucose levels, proteins, electrolytes, and
metabolic enzymes;
A veterinary hematology analyzer with smear capability, designed for complete
blood count
(CBC) with leukocyte population differentiation;
A laboratory blood gas analyzer, which allows for the assessment of acid–base balance, blood
gases
(pO₂, pCO₂), lactate concentration, and electrolyte levels from a minimal sample volume.
The ability to perform diagnostics directly on-site allows for swift clinical decision-making
during
experimental procedures, monitoring of animals during recovery,
and real-time evaluation of the effects of
active substances or surgical interventions
on basic physiological parameters.
The Hematology Diagnostics Laboratory ensures a high standard of analytical quality in line with
preclinical
research requirements and constitutes an indispensable element of the comprehensive
experimental
infrastructure of the Center for Translational Medicine.
