Laboratory

The Laboratory at Shanghai United Family Hospital operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing laboratory services in English and Mandarin to both inpatient and outpatient populations of all ages. We can perform many tests which include hematology, immunology, chemistry, microbiology, body fluids, as well as a series of tests for pregnant women. We are dedicated to providing accurate, informative and timely testing.

Our laboratory is equipped with automatic and advanced equipment in an optimal environment. All of our lab employees are professionally licensed and have much working experience in clinical laboratories. Many of our employees have previous work experience in other international hospitals.

In our laboratory, performance is always under standardized control. We strictly follow international rules and procedures set out for a clinical laboratory. All tests undergo CAP (College of American Pathologists) proficiency testing surveys and China proficiency testing in order to ensure that the results are compatible with other international laboratories.

We also have a Blood Bank that stores fresh blood so that it is available for routine as well as emergency cases. All donated blood has been screened for transmitted diseases to ensure safety according to international blood bank standards.
