The automated laboratory provides a routine biochemistry testing service on the Southmead Hospital site, to all inpatient, outpatient and GP surgeries in the North Bristol area.
It has a workload of 1 million specimen requests per annum, with a repertoire of over 50 tests. The laboratory offers a routine service and processes over 20,000 test requests per day.
Our laboratory is equipped with Roche Cobas instrumentation, which processes the majority of routine biochemistry tests.
Endocrinology, cardiac and a number of tumour markers are also analysed using these systems. As well as processing routine samples, an urgent service is provided throughout the routine working day. Between 10pm - 8am the automated laboratory provides an out-of-hours service.
