The Special Blood Sciences laboratory is based at the Freeman hospital site and provides important diagnostic testing for various clinical disciplines, including transplantation, neuroendocrinology, and gastroenterology.
The Special Blood Sciences section uses a number of manual assay techniques, including HPLC, LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS, to measure the concentration of various analytes such as immunosuppressant drugs, biogenic amine metabolites, trace elements and vitamins. The Special Blood Sciences team provides an ever-expanding service for a diverse range of specialist tests and also operates a busy program of assay and method development. The laboratory service is supported through close relationships with many specialist clinical teams in Newcastle Hospitals such as the transplantation teams, endocrinology and gastroenterology.
