From routine blood tests to specialised hormone, cardiac and tumour markers, Optima Diagnostics runs a full-spectrum clinical laboratory in the heart of Silchar. Automated analysers, layered quality control and consultant pathologist review come together to deliver reports you and your doctor can trust.
Optima Diagnostics' pathology lab in Silchar covers six disciplines — haematology, biochemistry, immunoassays, serology, microbiology and clinical pathology. Most routine reports are issued the same day with home sample collection available across Silchar town.
Modern medical laboratories work best when their disciplines are clearly separated and seamlessly connected. At Optima Diagnostics our lab runs through dedicated workstations:
Internal quality control runs every day. Multi-level commercial controls run before patient samples each morning; out-of-control runs trigger investigation and corrective action before any result is released. We also participate in external quality assurance (EQAS) programmes that benchmark our performance against laboratories across India.
Doorstep service for elderly patients, post-operative cases, working professionals — and anyone who simply prefers the comfort of home.

Important: Laboratory results should always be interpreted by a qualified physician in the context of your symptoms and other tests. A single value outside the reference range does not necessarily indicate disease.
You can book any individual test on a doctor's prescription. Packages are purely for convenience and offer pricing benefits when multiple tests are clinically indicated together.
You'll feel a brief pinprick when the needle is inserted; the actual collection takes less than a minute. Our phlebotomists are trained in techniques that minimise discomfort, especially for children and elderly patients.
Yes. Printed reports are available at the centre once the consultant pathologist has signed them — at no additional charge.
