Having laid a strong infrastructure across the country, SRL was poised to mop up more business by reaching out to people in the
hinterland and the setting up of the reference lab in Beas was a shining example of this forward looking aggressive posture of the company, he added. This lab, which will cater to the advanced requirements of SRL labs in this entire region, has facilities to perform 4,000 types of tests at very competitive rates. Henceforth people from these parts will not have to send their samples to Gurgaon and Mumbai to get advanced tests, including for cancer, done and the waiting time will be reduced drastically. The reference lab has a capacity to conduct 6 lakh tests a month (72 lakh in a year) and results of 80 percent of the tests can be had the same day. “People who give their samples need not come here to get their reports. They can excess our website with an individual user name and password provided to each client in an SMS alert to inform
him or her about the test results being available on the website,” Vashishta said.
