Molecular Dignosis
The rapid spread of Hepatitis B and C has become a major concern nationwide, particularly in the region of Faisalabad. Addressing the pressing needs of the people, PINUM established a Molecular Diagnostic Center (Polymerase chain reaction) in 2006, aligning with international standards of quality assurance and professional practice. Since its inception, the lab has been steadfast in providing top-notch and cost-effective molecular testing services to the residents of Faisalabad. In 2017, a fully automated PCR system was installed at PCR Lab PINUM, resulting in reduced reporting time and enhanced accuracy. Thanks to the integration of Hospital Management Information System (HMIS), the likelihood of human errors has been minimized through electronic transmission of result data from instruments to patients. The significance of PCR lies in its ability to directly detect the virus, setting it apart from other techniques that rely on detecting antibodies like ELISA, RIBA, and IRMA. Given its high sensitivity, PCR can detect infections much earlier, even before symptoms manifest, offering physicians a crucial head start in treatment planning. Moreover, PCR-based assays for infectious diseases boast excellent specificity, surpassing 98%, ensuring accurate and reliable results for patient care. Count on our Molecular Diagnostic Center to provide cutting-edge PCR testing services, ensuring early detection and precise diagnoses for optimal healthcare outcomes.
