Clinical Biochemistry has laboratories at both Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals and both sites offer a comprehensive range of routine biochemistry tests 24/7, including: Urea & Electrolytes (U&E), Liver Function Tests (LFT), C-Reactive protein (CRP).

The biochemistry department also measures:

  • glucose and HbA1c for diabetic monitoring,
  • hormone levels such as LH, FSH and prolactin
  • drug monitoring such as digoxin, anti-epileptic drugs, paracetamol, salicylate and antibiotics.

The Clinical Biochemistry offers a comprehensive analytical and advisory service to the hospital sites and to General Practitioners within East Suffolk and North Essex.

Clinical Biochemistry is accredited at Ipswich by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) to BS EN ISO15189:2012 Accreditation number 9318.
