The laboratory will provide a comprehensive menu of diagnostic screening services to hospitals, maternity nursing facilities, diagnostic labs and clinicians throughout India.
Prahlad Singh, President, Diagnostics, PerkinElmer formally inaugurated the facility on February 17, 2016, in the presence of a leading group of clinicians, including gynecologists, fetal medicine specialists and pediatricians, along with medical research professionals and key opinion leaders.
Since 1981, PerkinElmer has been providing instruments and services to customers in India, spanning a wide range of markets.
The opening of the Chennai laboratory broadens PerkinElmer’s diagnostic offerings to respond to India’s growing need for easier access to technologies that can screen for and help diagnose prenatal and neonatal conditions. Newborn screening helps detect metabolic and other inherited disorders that are treatable only when identified during the first few days of life. fii-news.com
