Clinical Chemistry

The Chemistry Laboratories in the Geisinger Health System consist of several technical sections, including Automated Chemistry, Blood Gases, Toxicology, Urinalysis, Immunology and Serology. Our state-of-the-art total laboratory automation system connects a  front end preanalytic automation system with Chemistry, Hematology and Coagulation Testing to improve operational efficiency.  Specific testing includes metabolic panels, hepatic function panels, renal function panels, cardiac markers, thyroid tests, fertility tests, therapeutic drug monitoring tests, lipid panels, diabetes monitoring tests, cancer markers, etc. The Chemistry Laboratories support all specialties including Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Nephrology, Hematology/Oncology, Endocrinology, Infectious Disease, Women’s Health, and General Medicine.  Specialized STAT testing is available to meet the clinical need.  Test methods are standardized across the entire Geisinger System.  Therefore, providers and patients can be certain of the same results no matter at which Geisinger hospitals/clinics they are located.
