University Hospital of Wales (UHW)
The Supra Regional Assay Service (SAS) is part of the Endocrine Section in the Department of Medical Biochemistry at the University Hospital of Wales. There are strong links with the Cardiff University School of Medicine with regular review of cases, service development and research. The SAS diagnostic service includes an advisory function performed and co-ordinated by the director, supported by Clinical Associates who are expert endocrinologists. In addition to the SAS Service we provide a comprehensive endocrine service at a local and regional level. The laboratory services are UKAS accredited and there is a full programme of quality assurance.
The SAS designated assays offered are:
17a-Hydroxyprogesterone Saliva
17a-Hydroxyprogesterone blood spot
TSH receptor Stimulating Immunoglobulins ((TSI)
In addition, non-SAS specialist endocrine assays undertaken in the laboratory include urine metanephrines and various steroid hormones by LC-MS/MS.
