DERMATOLOGY DIAGNOSTIC EXPERTISE
Dermatology diagnostics to support patient care
Unilabs supports dermatologists and healthcare professionals with diagnostic services across common and specialised skin disease pathways. Our approach combines clinical laboratory testing, dermatopathology, molecular diagnostics, genetics and specialist interpretation to help guide diagnosis, treatment decisions and patient follow-up.
Through the collaboration with Kempf & Pfaltz, dermatologists can access specialist dermatopathology support for skin biopsies, inflammatory dermatoses, tumour-related questions and cases requiring clinicopathological correlation.
Diagnostic services and expertise for dermatology
From skin biopsies and laboratory testing to molecular diagnostics and genetic counselling, Unilabs supports dermatologists across common and specialised diagnostic questions.
Specialist assessment of skin biopsies to support diagnosis, disease classification, treatment decisions and follow-up across a broad range of dermatological conditions.
Histopathology, immunohistochemistry and selected molecular testing to support the classification of melanocytic, keratinocytic, adnexal, soft tissue and lymphoid skin tumours.
Histopathology, immunology testing, direct immunofluorescence and selected molecular approaches to support inflammatory, autoimmune and immune-mediated skin diseases.
PCR, cultures, serology, special stains and immunohistochemistry to support the investigation of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic skin infections.
Molecular testing, clonality studies, mutation analysis and gene expression-based approaches to support selected inflammatory, neoplastic and genetic dermatology questions.
Genetic testing and counselling for selected hereditary skin diseases, genodermatoses, familial melanoma and tumour predisposition syndromes.
Integration of clinical context, histology, images, laboratory results and specialist expertise to support clearer interpretation in selected dermatology cases.
MOLECULAR DERMATOLOGY DIAGNOSTICS
PsorX for selected psoriasis and eczema cases
PsorX can support the differential diagnosis of psoriasis and eczema when clinical and histological features overlap. As part of the dermatopathology workflow, the test adds molecular information to support specialist interpretation in selected inflammatory skin disease cases — alongside clinical information, histology and clinicopathological correlation.
Advanced methods supporting skin disease diagnostics
IMMUNE-BASED METHODS
Supporting autoimmune, inflammatory and tumour-related skin disease assessment
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) add important diagnostic information in selected dermatology cases, including autoimmune blistering diseases, inflammatory dermatoses and specific tumour classifications. These methods help dermatologists access more detailed tissue-based insights when standard histology alone is not sufficient.
