The department has an osmometer to test for osmolality of plasma and serum by freezing point osmometer method. It also has the facility to test for abnormal hemoglobins by the HPLC method. In the diabetes laboratory Foot Scans, Doppler Studies and VPT (vibration perception threshold) are being done.
