Medical Lab Services at FidaLab
Caring for Your Overall Health
At FidaLab, we’re committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal health. Our specialized medical lab services are designed to give you and your healthcare team the precise information needed to support your overall well-being. Using advanced DNA-based molecular testing, we provide accurate and timely diagnostics for a variety of health concerns, including infectious diseases, genetic conditions, and histopathology needs.
Molecular Tests for Infectious Diseases
Our molecular tests for infectious diseases ensure precise and rapid detection of pathogens, enabling timely and effective treatment. Here are some key areas of focus:
Respiratory Infections
Our tests accurately identify viruses and bacteria responsible for respiratory infections such as influenza, COVID-19, and pneumonia. Early detection helps your healthcare provider choose the right treatment and prevent the spread of infections.
Women's Health
We offer comprehensive testing for infections affecting women's health, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and bacterial vaginosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for maintaining reproductive health and overall well-being.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Our UTI tests detect the specific bacteria causing the infection, allowing for targeted antibiotic therapy. Quick and accurate diagnosis helps alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
Genetic Susceptibility Tests
Understanding your genetic predisposition to certain health conditions can lead to more personalized and effective healthcare. Our genetic susceptibility tests include:
Pharmacogenomics
This test analyzes how your genes affect your response to medications. By understanding your genetic profile, healthcare providers can prescribe medications that are more effective and have fewer side effects, ensuring personalized treatment plans.
Histology/Pathology Services
Our histology and pathology services provide detailed insights into tissue samples, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Our offerings include:
Wound Histology
We analyze tissue samples from wounds to identify underlying causes of poor healing and infection. This information helps healthcare providers develop effective treatment strategies to promote healing and prevent complications.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Services
Our IHC services involve staining tissue samples with specific antibodies to detect proteins and other molecules. This technique is vital for diagnosing various cancers and other diseases, enabling precise and targeted treatment plans.

Women's Health Testing
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based pathogen detection provides a comprehensive molecular diagnostic tool for women’s health related issues. Microbial-related health issues are extremely common in women, affecting a significant proportion of all women. They range from those that negatively impact the quality of life to more serious conditions such as STD, infection-related infertility, and cervical cancer. Our lab provides one-stop testing for the most common conditions using highly sensitive molecular technologies with next-day turnaround time.

FidaLab's UTI Test
UTIs are the most common bacterial infection and major cause of morbidity. The elderly are particularly susceptible with direct consequences including urosepsis and increased fall risk. The conventional urine culture suffers from suboptimal sensitivity and lengthy test time (3-5 days). In contrast, the new nucleic acid amplification-based assay (quantitative PCR), offers urinary tract pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance gene detection within the next day with a sensitivity that is estimated three times higher than a regular bacterial culture. The timely provision of enhanced microbial detection and the accompanying antibiotic sensitivity results help improve antimicrobial stewardship and clinical outcome.

HIGHLY SENSITIVE PCR TECHNOLOGY
FidaLab uses highly sensitive and accurate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology with exceptionally fast turn-around times.
FAST RESULTS
PCR does not rely on the time-consuming microbial growth for results. Pathogen detection, identification, and antibiotic sensitivity are achieved in one reaction.
REDUCTION IN FALSE NEGATIVES
Superior detection of polymicrobial infections and difficult-to-culture bacteria.
PRETEST ANTIBIOTIC EXPOSURE
Our test is unaffected by any recent antibiotic use.
STABILITY
No need for refrigeration. The specimen is stable for 5 days at room temperature.
ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP
Our PCR testing promotes effective antibiotic stewardship.

Pathology Services
FidaLab is a pioneer in the clinical Histopathology evaluation of chronic wounds, analyzing tissue samples. Currently, most such work is investigational on animal models in research.
Chronic wounds are a prevalent health issue in the elderly population. Although wound healing is powerfully programmed during evolution, it can be derailed by a variety of host and local factors. Diagnosing atypical wounds such as Marjolin ulcers or vasculitides leads to effective targeted therapy. For “typical wounds”, assessment of the wound healing progression helps identify why the wound healing process is stalled. Histopathology is also a quick way of establishing the presence of osteomyelitis (swelling of a bone), in 1-2 days comparing to the lengthy scheduling of imaging studies.
Histology Services
Standard Histology, Histochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), and In situ hybridization (ISH) services are offered. Our advantages:
- Robust information system for specimen management, result recording, and data storage.
- Dependable slide quality. Strict adherence to QC and experience ensure quality Histology products. We validate and optimize clients’ antibodies for IHC.
- Slide reading. Each slide is read by two independent observers to ensure accuracy.
- Fast turnaround time. We guarantee result delivery within the client designated timeframe.
- Low cost. We offer competitive pricing.
- Collaborative partnership. We work collaboratively with clients to help achieve their goals.
