POOL provides a range of referral testing including diagnostic markers and research based parameters.

These include:

• Diagnostic markers

  Including markers in cancer treatment/oncology, respiratory diagnosis, immunological diseases, metabolic, endocrin, hepatic, renal and CNS functions.

• Biomarkers

  Biomarkers are tests that can be measured and used as indicators of disease or as markers of safety of pharmacological effect in clinical trials, which can help support drug development without the need for clinical end-point data. Biomarkers are used to achieve a better understanding of drug actions and the correlation between pre-clinical and clinical information. A range of biomarker assessments and biomarker development facilities are available.

• Non-routine esoteric tests covering all areas of pathology.
