The examinations on the diagnoses of patients are practiced in our unit. Transfusion of blood and other blood products and chemotherapy administration services are performed in the treatment room, within working hours.
Complete Blood Count Laboratory
Complete blood counting of 22 parameters is (hemoglobin, red blood cell, white blood cell and other indices) performed with automatic counters in the unit. Additionally, reticulocyte counting is done and peripheral smear is examined by the physicians.
Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Laboratory
Services on diagnosis of Mediterranean anemia, sickle cell anemia and other abnormal hemoglobin related diseases are provided by Adult Hospital, in addition to the Children's Hospital, in Ankara and in across the country. These activities are performed with the full-automatic HPLC device.
Erythrocyte Enzyme Laboratory
Most common erythrocyte enzyme deficiencies which are glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), pyruvate kinase and pyrimidine 5' nucleotidase enzymes are examined in the laboratory. Service is offered to all hospitals in Ankara.
Pre-natal Diagnosis Laboratory
It is Turkey’s first laboratory established in this field. Pre-natal diagnosis of Mediterranean anemia, sickle cell anemia and other abnormal hemoglobin diseases are made. It is one of the most active three laboratories in Turkey. Parents of children with Mediterranean anemia or sickle cell anemia or parents known to be the carriers, apply to this center. A nationwide service is also offered in this center as well.
Flow Cytometry Laboratory

Automated DNA Sequencing Analysis Laboratory
In this laboratory, mutation and polymorphism analyses of genetic diseases such as familial Mediterranean fever, metabolic diseases are performed.
Gene Mapping Laboratory
In this laboratory, mapping of specific locus or gene areas of familial diseases, which may affect the whole family, is practiced.
Real-time PCR Laboratory
It is the automated routine analysis laboratory for diagnosing the diseases with known gene zones. In this laboratory, the factor V Leiden, prothrombin mutation, multiple drug resistant, translocations in leukemia are examined.
