Molecular Diagnostics
Molecular diagnostics is a specialized branch of laboratory testing that focuses on analyzing proteins, DNA, and RNA to diagnose and monitor diseases. By studying the genetic material within cells, molecular diagnostics plays a vital role in detecting genetic mutations, identifying infections, assessing disease risk, and tracking how well a treatment is working.
This advanced technique enables more accurate and early detection of illnesses, helping doctors make informed decisions for personalized treatment. Molecular diagnostics is especially important in fields such as oncology, infectious diseases, and genetic testing, significantly improving overall healthcare outcomes.
Appointments for molecular diagnostics, along with other pathology services such as clinical biochemistry, immunology, serology, histopathology, cytology, cytogenetics, and pathology imaging, are available at RamaLab. Patients can choose either an in-lab visit or convenient home sample collection.

Histopathology typically includes tissue biopsy tests such as liver biopsy, kidney biopsy, skin biopsy, and bone marrow biopsy. These are used to examine tissues at the microscopic level for signs of disease.
Cytology focuses on analyzing individual cells and includes common tests like the Pap smear, PDL1-IHC, and exfoliative cytology techniques such as urine cytology and sputum cytology to detect infections, cancer, and other abnormalities.
Cytogenetic testing involves analyzing chromosomes to detect genetic disorders or changes associated with certain cancers. These tests are often used in prenatal screening, cancer diagnosis, and genetic counseling.
Lab results should be interpreted by your healthcare provider. The analysis involves reviewing clinical history, specimen details, and microscopic findings, along with gross examination when needed. This ensures accurate diagnosis and helps in creating a personalized treatment plan with appropriate medications.
A strong diagnostic process ensures diseases are detected accurately and early, which allows for more effective and targeted treatment. It improves patient safety, enables preventive care, and helps avoid unnecessary procedures—making healthcare more efficient and outcomes more successful.
Most test reports are delivered on the same day. However, certain specialized tests may take longer and are usually ready within 1 to 2 working days, depending on the complexity of the analysis.
Yes, RamaLab offers home collection services for your convenience. You can also opt for in-center visits. Appointments can be booked easily through our official website, by calling us at +91 72898 17446 (between 7:00 A.M. and 10:30 P.M.), or by chatting with our WhatsApp bot on the same number.
