Special Chemistry

Special Chemistry testing handles tests that are ordered relatively infrequently, primarily for the purpose of investigating and diagnosing less common diseases.


HNL Lab Medicine’s Special Chemistry department utilizes a wide variety of methods, including:

  • Electrophoresis
  • High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
  • Nephelometry
  • Enzyme Immunoassay
  • Western Blot
This testing can be performed on a range of specimens, including blood, urine and stool.
We focus on subspecialty areas including:
  • Protein Studies for Multiple Myeloma
  • Hemoglobinopathy Evaluations
  • Tumor Marker Testing
  • Allergy Testing (using the ImmunoCAP system)
