Also Known As:

Anti Nuclear Antibody /factor (ANA/ANF), IFA (Hep-2) Reflex testing

This is an indirect fluorescent antibody test for the semiquantitative detection of antinuclear antibody in human serum. Immunofluorescence microscopy using HEp 2000 ANA test system with transfected mitotic , human epitheloid cells (HEp 2) is an advanced and sensitive system for detection of ANA that react with various cellular proteins & nucleic acid. Anti nuclear antibody (ANA/ANF) is a group of autoantibodies directed against various cell nuclear proteins. These antibodies are found with high frequency in patients with connective tissue disorders like SLE , Sjogrens syndrome , mixed connective tissue disease , rheumatoid arthritis , polymyositis etc. The positive results are interpreted according to pattern observed and diseases are associated with that pattern.

  • Description

    When people are exposed to virus or bacteria their body’s immune system generates particular antibodies against the organism. Antibody levels help physicians decide if an infection appeared recently or some time ago. Viral infections, bacterial infections and others can be diagnosed with the help of serological studies.

    We have the capability to test for blood-borne pathogens and examine blood specimens for vaccine preventable diseases, mosquito-borne diseases and diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Quality control with perfect results is the central goal. Towards this, the department employs the latest technologies that hugely increase the accuracy of the tests and diminish the chances of human error. The advanced methods in use produce a high level of sensitivity and accuracy while yielding great quality results.

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
