The main objective of the Serology Laboratory is to provide services to centers of the National Health System, through the offer in the service portfolio of the National Microbiology Center, in carrying out diagnosis and reference through the detection of antibodies, both for primary diagnosis and for reference activities.
For this, it has the appropriate serological methodologies, many of them accredited by ENAC in accordance with the ISO15189 standard. Conducts test validation studies through collaboration agreements with private entities.
Participates in seroprevalence studies, carried out through management assignments with the Ministry of Health and with the Public Health authorities of different autonomous communities.
On the other hand, it participates in research projects in relation to infectious diseases, in recent years on neurological diseases, on emerging diseases and on the viruses included in the MMR vaccine.
