Medical laboratory investigations guide clinicians in their diagnosis where accurate, reliable and timely reports with quality checking are sought after by all. With a history of over two decades in medical laboratory diagnostics, Durdans Laboratory comprises an established network of over 55 Durdans owned locations and over 2,500 partner collection centres island-wide, dedicated in supporting medical specialists and patients with convenience.

Dedicated to serve patients with care and promptness, medical laboratory technicians and support staff work around the clock to collect, transport, analyse and report results under the guidance and scrutiny of an eminent panel of a consultant pathologist. Furthermore, Durdans Laboratory further enhances convenience and patient care by enabling mobile sample collection service in most parts of Sri Lanka.

The diagnostic arm of Durdans Hospital is synonymous with specialised diagnostic services. “We have a panel of over 700 laboratory investigations in the areas of Biochemistry, Heamatology, Clinical Pathology, Immunology, Special Chemistry, Microbiology, Histopathology and Molecular Biology and are committed to constantly introduce new investigations that support the areas of preventive and curative medicine,” says Mahanil Perera, Head of Laboratory.

Reliability is measured by accuracy, precision, specificity and sensitivity. To ensure that these parameters are met, strict internal and external quality checks such as CAP, AAB and Bio Rad Quality Controls are conducted regularly to verify whether the range of the results is in line with the expected measurements.

Furthermore, high safety and quality standards are maintained by Durdans Laboratory; evidently being awarded the Gold Seal of Approval by Joint Commission International (JCI) by the world’s leading accreditation organisation based in the US. In addition, Durdans Laboratory has ISO 15189 accreditation by the Sri Lanka Accreditation Board (SLAB) for Conformity Assessment which is the National Accreditation Authority for Sri Lanka.
