Laboratory for biomedical analysis

The American Hospital of Paris laboratory covers nearly all biological disciplines:

• standard biochemical tests
• hematology, including coagulation tests
• bacteriology
• standard and specialized immunology
  

It also performs the following tests:

• prenatal screening for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
• spermatology
• functional tests: stimulation tests, suppression tests, etc.
  

The laboratory is managed by one biologist and also includes four assistant directors.
It complies with strict quality standards established by French and American health authorities. Every four years, it undergoes inspection by the French national authority for health (Haute Autorité de Santé) to maintain its certification. It is also audited every two years by the Joint Commission, an independent American organization and the main accreditation agency for health institutions in the United States.
