Blood disorders are the pathologies which can affect the quantity as well as the functionality of the blood cells. The diagnosis of hematologic disorders is performed and based on the: - Medical history (symptoms) - Physical examination - Laboratory tests Blood cells disorders could affect Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets.

Abnormalities of blood cells parameters are evaluated through laboratory testing in order to monitor quantitative acceptance criteria related to specific pathologies and/or applications.

Infectious screening is the laboratory examination which can rapidly and early detect an infectious disease, with the intention of intervening and/or modifying the treatment.
