Have supervised all the specialized lab practices and clinical practices related to the field of Transfusion Medicine and Component therapy, such as :

  • Immunohematology laboratory, Coagulation lab, Pre-transfusion testing Lab, Blood component processing lab, Transfusion Transmissible Infection (TTI) testing lab,
  • Platelet apheresis, management of transfusion reactions,
  • Therapeutic procedures like TPE (Therapeutic Plasma exchange)
  • Quality Control lab for testing quality of blood components
  • Blood Component Preparation, both routine as well as specialized blood components such as Leukofiltered blood components, Irradiated blood components, volume reduced blood components.

    • Have in-depth knowledge of operational managements & trouble shootings of automated advanced equipment such as Platelet apheresis machines, Da-Vinci Quattro for ELISA testing, ECI Chemiluminescence , COBAS Chemiluminescence technique, VITROS biochemistry analyser , Solid phase red cell adherence based automated platform for blood grouping, EM technology based automated platform, T-ACE automated component extractor etc.

    Played key role in establishment of NAT test in the department.

    Successfully standardized of new facility for patient care "Use of Platelet Releasate (PRP) in clinical improvement" of following conditions:

  • Split thickness skin graft in collaboration with Dept of Plastic Surgery SGPGIMS
  • Dental Implant in collaboration with Dept of Periodontology Sardar Patel PGIDMS

    • Also implemented indigenous modified technique for preparation of platelet releasate by "Hyper-concentration and double freeze-thaw" technique

    Standardization of indigenous Platelet Washing Solution at laboratory level and assessment in clinical settings.

    Standardization of Molecular Technique for minor blood grouping for ensuring safe transfusion therapy in DAT positive and multi-transfused patients.

    Evaluation of factors affecting QC of Plasma which in turn affect clinical outcome of Plasma transfusion

    Comparison of lancets& evaluation of maneuvers in reducing finger prick pain during pre-donation Hb estimation.

    Evaluation of INTERNAL QC Program of ELISA test by regular monitoring of test results.
