Kolkata, India, March 10, 2022: Global pharma major Lupin Limited (Lupin) announced today that Lupin Diagnostics has launched its first Reference Laboratory in East India in Kolkata.

Lupin Diagnostics is also setting up laboratories in West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa to comprehensively cater to the East India region.

We are very pleased to now offer our services in East India, a very important region for us.”

Lupin Diagnostics offers a comprehensive range of diagnostics services to doctors, patients and consumers. Some of its key consumer-centric features are GPS-enabled temperature–controlled sample movement, smart reports, NABL accreditation of each laboratory, trend report analysis, and live home collection booking and tracking.
