Basophils are white blood cells that play a crucial role in allergic reactions and inflammation. They release histamine and other mediators, contributing to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and hives. Elevated basophil counts can be associated with certain conditions, such as asthma and chronic myeloid leukemia.
White Blood Cells
Eosinophils
Eosinophils are white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are involved in fighting parasites, allergic reactions, and tissue repair. Elevated eosinophil counts can be a sign of various conditions, including parasitic infections and allergic diseases.
Monocytes
Monocytes are large white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and inflammation. Elevated or decreased monocyte counts can be indicative of various diseases.

Leukemia: An Overview
Leukemia: Hematopoietic malignancy affecting blood cell production, presenting with cytopenias, blasts in peripheral blood, and requiring prompt diagnosis & treatment.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma: Diverse malignancies of lymphocytes. Hodgkin’s & Non-Hodgkin’s subtypes present with swollen nodes, fever, night sweats, fatigue.
Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping of Blood
Blood cells stained with fluorescent antibodies reveal hidden markers, like a cellular fingerprint. Flow cytometry analyzes millions of cells, painting a detailed picture of immune health, disease clues, and treatment insights.
Immunohistochemistry Staining (IHC)
This immunohistochemistry protocol guides you step-by-step through visualizing specific proteins in tissue sections, aiding in accurate diagnosis of various diseases.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): An Overview
MDS is a blood disorder where bone marrow malfunctions, causing abnormal blood cell production. Symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and infections may occur.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing and aggressive blood cancer that arises from the uncontrolled growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow.
