The Immunology laboratory provides a range of indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) tests for the diagnosis and management of autoimmune conditions. This is a busy department and we provide IIF testing to patients of St James and other institutions. The service requires an automated slide processor capable of delivering a fully traceable process from pipetting samples and reagents to the capture and recording of images of the indirect immunofluoresent tests.

Currently the service offers the following diagnostic tests:
โ€” Assay Estimated 2020,
