By unifying inspection methods, standard materials, analytical instruments, etc., each of these laboratories provides high-quality data that does not change anywhere in the country.
Genetic tests
We extract DNA from the cell nuclei, analyze the nucleotide sequences, and investigate any changes in the target gene, such as mutations or deletions.
Biochemistry
These tests mainly include examination of liver function, kidney function, and sugar and lipid metabolism, along with the quantitative analysis of the components of, and their activities in, blood and urine samples. This is the most automated and advanced testing field.

The antigen-antibody reaction tests for viral or bacterial infectious disease pathogens and for autoimmune diseases.
