The aim of the project is to ensure and improve the availability of basic and specialised laboratory tests in the VFN in response to COVID-19 related problems through new instrumentation. At the same time, we want to increase both quantitatively and qualitatively the level of investigation methods and broaden their spectrum with new methods. The project is focused on modernisation of equipment in the fields of hematology, medical microbiology, clinical biochemistry, immunology, medical genetics and pathology.
