Polyclinic Arcadia performs MEDICAL-BIOCHEMICAL tests through the service of Synlab laboratory. Laboratory Synlab GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1998 in Germany. Today, it brings together all the leading laboratories in many European Union countries and beyond. It provides more than 4000 different laboratory tests, out of which Synlab laboratory performs more than 200 different tests (haematology, biochemistry, microbiology) and allergic testing (possibility of testing on more than 600 different allergens).

All the other examinations are done in appropriate accredited laboratories. All laboratory tests are done by recommended methods according to requirements of Croatian Chamber of Medical Biochemists (HKMB) on top-level measuring instruments. We are systematically improving the work of laboratory, introducing new technology constantly following the latest professional literature. The excellence of our services is confirmed by carrying out daily control of work quality, as well as by participating in statutory external quality control in Croatia. Labor centar Polyclinic participates in international quality control “Instand”. Participating in all the quality control programmes is confirmed by certificates. Educated and experienced staff guarantees conducting all laboratory tests according to highest scientific-technological standards. It all leads to accurate and precise results. LABORATORY TESTS
