Molecular Biology – Precision Diagnostics at the Genetic Level
Molecular Biology is an advanced field of laboratory medicine that focuses on analyzing DNA, RNA, and proteins to detect genetic, infectious, and oncological disorders with high sensitivity and specificity. At Dr. Aravind’s Basavashree Diagnostic Centre, we offer a range of molecular biology tests that enable early and accurate detection of diseases at the molecular and cellular levels.
Molecular testing is revolutionizing diagnostics by allowing clinicians to identify conditions that may not be detectable through conventional methods. Our molecular biology services include PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), RT-PCR, genetic mutation analysis, infectious disease panels, HPV DNA testing, tuberculosis (TB) PCR, and other nucleic acid-based tests.
These tests are essential for diagnosing viral infections (such as COVID-19, hepatitis, HPV), identifying inherited genetic disorders, detecting minimal residual disease in cancers, and guiding personalized treatment plans. For example, PCR can identify the presence of a pathogen within hours, helping start timely treatment and limiting disease spread.
Our lab utilizes standardized protocols and high-quality reagents to ensure the accuracy, reproducibility, and reliability of every molecular result. Dr. Aravind K, MBBS, MD – a Consultant Pathologist with over a decade of experience – personally supervises and interprets molecular reports to ensure diagnostic accuracy and clinical relevance.
Molecular diagnostics are particularly important in oncology, where genetic mutation testing helps in identifying specific cancer subtypes, predicting treatment response, and monitoring recurrence. Similarly, in infectious diseases, molecular techniques offer rapid and accurate pathogen identification, even in cases with low microbial load.
With faster turnaround times, minimal sample requirements, and high diagnostic value, molecular biology has become a critical tool in modern diagnostics. At Dr. Aravind’s Basavashree Diagnostic Centre, we are committed to staying at the forefront of diagnostic innovation, bringing the benefits of molecular testing to the local community with transparency, affordability, and expert care.
Whether it’s detecting an infection early or guiding complex treatment plans, our molecular biology services ensure that you and your doctor get the most precise information for effective decision-making.
