Laboratory Services

Sumner Regional Medical Center’s Laboratory has cutting-edge technology that processes hundreds of tests daily. The lab processes tests for inpatient orders, physician office orders, as well as for many businesses in the area that require drug screens and other laboratory services through our Corporate Health Services.

We strive to keep the newest technology to ensure accurate and efficient results in order to provide better service to our patients.

Some of our technology includes:
The Integra 800, which is used to analyze urine samples for drug abuse, assess how a diabetic patient is managing his or her disease and assess the general health of mental health patients.

The Sysmex XE-2100, a hematology analyzer, is primarily designed to do blood counts. This state-of-the-art piece of equipment does a five-part differential, which means it counts the blood cells in a sample and categorizes these microscopic cells into five categories based on each cell’s characteristics. In a short amount of time this machine can help determine whether a newborn is producing blood, detect infections, assess a patient's ability to produce cells appropriately in the bone marrow or help determine if a cancer patient needs a blood transfusion because of a low blood platelet or hemoglobin and hematocrit count.

The Elecsys 2010, a chemistry analyzer that has empowered the lab to conduct special chemistry tests to diagnose congestive heart failure, assess the severity of heart attacks by measuring chemicals in the blood and create thyroid profiles.
