To continue our high quality services, Unilab has its computer system and reporting system upgraded in 2006 including colour-coded out-of-range results system and bar-coded positive ID system. Upgraded laboratory services also included the heart failure marker BNP, direct LDL assay, HIV antigen and antibody assay etc. Unilab will continue to implement more new technologies and to provide our quality services.

Quantitative Assay for RA factor, ASOT and CRP

With our first class integrated analyzer Architect ci8200, we are ready to provide quantitative analysis for RA factor, ASOT and CRP with no additional charge over the semi-quantitative assay we are providing.

 

Addition of Hypersensitive CRP (hsCRP)

The use of hypersensitive CRP (hsCRP) in assessing acute coronary arterial disease is being more popular. It's our pleasure to provide this valuable test in the near future. Please contact our laboratory for details or visit our website for latest announcement.

 

HIV Combo Assay

HIV (I & II) antibody assay is replaced by HIV Combo (Antigen + Antibody). Instead of detect antibody alone, HIV Combo detects both antigen and antibody. Price remains unchanged.

 

4 th Generation TSH Assay

The 0.0027 mIU/mL functional sensitivity of our 4 th generation TSH assay provides a better picture for low TSH results than the 3 rd generation assay. Available now!

 

Hepatitis A Antibody IgG

All hepatitis A antibody (total) are replaced by the more specific IgG antibody, the hepatitis A IgG antibody. IgM is continuing available for detecting acute cases.

 

Direct LDL - Service Upgrade

No more calculated LDL. The limitation of calculated LDL are well documented, especially in high triglycerides cases. In order to provide a more accurate measurement in this significant coronary disease marker, all complementary calculated LDL in our profiles are now substituted by direct LDL assay at no additional charge.

 

Direct LDL - Price Reduction

The list price for direct LDL is lowered from $250 to $150. And all complementary calculated LDL in our profiles are now substituted by direct LDL assay at no additional charge.

 

Quantitative HBsAg Assay

All positive hepatitis B surface antigen HBsAg are now reported in IU/mL. We hope this may assist the monitoring of treatment in a cost effective way.

 

First Class Integrated Analyzer Installed

We have great pleasure to announce that a first class integrated system for Biochemistry and Immunoassay, the Abbott Architect ci8200, has been installed in our lab. Though the Architect system are widely distributed in various government and HA laboratories, our unit is the first one installed among private laboratories in Yau Tsim Mong area.

Besides better-quality test results and faster turnaround time, we are ready to provide various new tests and services upgrade. Please call our laboratory for details or visit this website for latest service upgrade.
 

Treadmill ECG Available

Our lab have installed a new Treadmill ECG system. Managed by experienced cardiologist, the GE Marquette System provides excellent figures on cardiac function. Please call laboratory for further details and for appointment.

24 Hours Holter ECG Available

24 hours Holter ECG is also available from our laboratory. Please call for details and for appoinment.

 

New Heart Failure Marker, BNP

We have pleasure to introduce a convenient blood test for screening of heart failure, namely the B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP). This cardiac hormone is of great value in screening of high risk, asymptomatic patients for cardiac dysfunction and for treatment-monitoring. Details of test description are available. Please contact us by phone or email.

Our laboratory is the first private laboratory in Hong Kong to provide this BNP test. We are now offering the test in a competitive price. Please call for details.

 

Heart Failure Profile

We are now offering a special package, the Heart Failure Profile, in a competitive price. The profile included blood BNP and resting ECG.

 

Homocysteine in Check-up Package Replaced with BNP

As BNP is a more specific marker for cardiac failure, we replaced all homocysteine in General Check-up Package with BNP in no additional charge. This would make the cardiac check-up more specific and reliable.
