Diagnostics is the first step in disease management. Lack of timely and accurate diagnosis limits the possibility of effective treatment. Lupin Limited (Lupin) announced the launch of the first Reference Laboratory in East India in Kolkata of Lupin Diagnostics to cater to this need of the people.

The new Reference Laboratory at Kolkata can conduct a broad spectrum of routine and specialized tests in the fields of molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, flow cytometry, histopathology, cytology, microbiology, serology, hematology, immunology, and routine biochemistry.

Lupin Diagnostics is also setting up laboratories in West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Orissa to comprehensively cater to the East India region. These processing labs will be located in the cities of Siliguri, Berhampore, Asansol, Burdwan, and Bankura in West Bengal, along with Guwahati (Assam), Patna (Bihar), Ranchi and Dhanbad (Jharkhand), and Bhubaneshwar (Orissa). These labs will be connected to Lupin’s franchise collection centers, LupiMitra. Lupin Diagnostics has more than 100 LupiMitra already enrolled for its East India operations.

Ravindra Kumar, Vice President, and Head – Lupin Diagnostics, and Shweta Munjal, Vice-President and Global Head-Corporate Communications graced the press meet and announced the further plans of the company.

Some of its key consumer-centric features are GPS-enabled temperature-controlled sample movement, smart reports, NABL accreditation of each laboratory, trend report analysis, and live home collection booking and tracking.
