The characteristics of the Tokyo Health Inspection Institute include advanced technology and reliability, primarily offering genetic testing services.\n Your samples are handled by knowledgeable and experienced staff, delivering accurate and prompt results.\n Additionally, not limited to Japan alone, we continuously incorporate the latest technologies and knowledge through collaboration and information exchange with inspection agencies in other countries, often providing unique domestic inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n

Illegality of Sending Samples to Overseas Inspection Agencies<\/h2>\n
\n

Regarding the act of directly sending samples from medical institutions within Japan to overseas inspection agencies, confirmation from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare indicates that this violates Article 15-3 of the Medical Law, thus considered illegal.<\/span>\nThe Medical Law aims to protect patient interests and ensure the provision of high-quality and appropriate medical care. Using medical institutions that violate the Medical Law could lead to administrative measures such as business suspension, posing significant risks. While some medical institutions may offer cost-effective tests by utilizing overseas inspection agencies, these actions are illegal as they do not go through certified domestic health inspection institutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At Hiro Clinic, to avoid such risks, we conduct tests through the Tokyo Health Inspection Institute, which is certified domestically.<\/span> The Tokyo Health Inspection Institute may collaborate with overseas inspection agencies when necessary, ensuring that all processes adhere to legal standards.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Plasma Separation ~ Pool Libraries<\/p>\n

    Upon arrival of your blood at the inspection facility, centrifugation is performed to separate blood components quickly. This efficient handling of samples ensures accurate test results.<\/p>\n

    Subsequently, using separated plasma and other reagents, pool libraries necessary for testing and analysis are created. This process is automated by an automatic dispenser, reducing manual intervention and enhancing result reliability.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n \n
