The ITxM Diagnostics Coagulation
Reference Laboratory is an extensive testing facility with technically
advanced clinical and investigative capabilities. Founded as a research
facility, it evolved to provide clinical evaluations as part of Central
Blood Bank in 1964. Its current mission is to provide specialty
coagulation services that include medical consultation, testing and
education.
The
Coagulation Reference Laboratory serves as a resource for physicians,
hospitals, large medical centers, and national reference laboratories in
the diagnosis and treatment of coagulation disorders. The medical staff
and laboratory personnel also work closely with the Hemophilia Center of
Western Pennsylvania to provide care to hemophiliacs, von Willebrand's
patients and individuals with other congenital and acquired coagulation
disorders.
The laboratory performs over
7,000 tests per month to identify deficiencies of coagulation factors
and natural anticoagulants, and to determine the presence of
dysfunctional coagulation proteins, platelet dysfunction, and acquired
inhibitors. In addition to clinical testing, the lab provides quality
control analysis and trouble-shooting services for other facilities.
The Coagulation Reference
Laboratory is CAP and CLIA certified and maintains licensures in
Pennsylvania, Florida, Maryland, New York, and Rhode Island. The
laboratory participates actively in NIH-sponsored research and FDA
submission testing of reagent/test kits. The laboratory also provides
coagulation services to research investigators, and conducts
vendor-sponsored clinical evaluations of instrumentation and diagnostic
kits, therapeutic field trials, and in-house test development.
Coagulation Reference
Laboratory medical staff members cooperate in a variety of educational
programs including resident post-doctorate training, technical lectures
and composition of specific educational and scientific literature.
Medical outreach programs and continuing education seminars are provided
to medical professionals nationally.
