Analysis Laboratory

Director of the department of Clinical Pathology and Microbiology:
Dr. Maria Laura Fibbi
Directors of the department of Anatomy and Histo-cytopathology:
Dr. Maria Laura Fibbi and Dr. Gerolamo Salomoni
Sample collection: Mon-Fri from 7 am to 10 am
Test results delivery : Mon-Fri from 9 am to 4 pm – Sat from 8.30 am to 12 am
Laboratory diagnosis is carried out in specific and especially equipped areas. It uses different analytical processes, instrumental and executive methods and is performed by skilled operators and specialists.
It is divided into three branches:
These three different branches have the common goal of allowing, modifying and monitoring any medical or surgical therapy and enable patients to access other diagnostic or instrumental therapies, such as diagnostic imaging or radiotherapy.
It is impossible to give patients effective therapies without adequate microbiological and/or anatomopathological and/or hematochemical investigation, and no testing or clinical research can be carried out and considered valid.
Paradoxically, the two most delicate steps are Pathological Anatomy and Microbiology. Whilst the clinical chemistry tests laboratory uses standard methods and applies them to a wide range of computerised machines (that can now carry out an increasing number of tests without human aid), microbiological and hysto-cytopathological diagnostics still require interpretation of all morphological data.
