Biomed Diagnostic Centre started as a Collection Centre of Speciality Ranbaxy Ltd (Joint Venture between Speciality Laboroaties Inc, USA and Ranbaxy Ltd) in the year 2000 with a 100 square feet room located in the same building where Xray, CT Scan and Sonography is presently done but not road facing. The scenario of Silchar was that even Thyroid Testing used to be done by one or two odd Labs by ELISA Method, that too after collecting the samples and storing it for 10 days with an exorbitant price. Internet revolution had not yet started, seeing Personal Computers was a rare entity, samples used to be collected and sent by courier to Mumbai Reference Lab even for a Thyroid Testing to get the reports by Courier after minimum 10 days (Both sample dispatch and report collection used to be with the use of Courier).

By the end of 2001 or beginning of 2002 we purchased the first computer for the purpose of Billing with Billing Software, a rare thing for Silchar as even a DOT Matrix Printer Paper was not available for sale as no one used a Billing Software, it had to be brought from Guwahati by Courier. Slowly Speciality Laboratories Inc left its share holding with Ranbaxy Ltd and the name changed to SRL Ranbaxy Ltd and for the first time Email reporting started and we started to cut down our reporting time by 3 days as the reports were sent by Email rather than by courier.

With time again the name was changed to Super Religare Laboratories and further to SRL Diagnostics and the concept of sending samples by Courier was changed to Cargo booking and our Reporting time decreased further by 3-4 days. In the year 2007 we were given permission to start a Lab in Silchar after a tug of war with the Company Management as they we not sure of success of a SRL Lab in Small Towns. The construction work for the interiors of the Lab and procurement of Instruments started in September, 2007 and the Staff Selection and training of Staff at SRL Gurgaon Lab went simultaneously. The Silchar Satellite Lab of SRL Diagnostics started on 26 th January, 2008 after almost 1.5 to 2 months of Quality Control Checks with Audit. Initial phase was not an easy one, as we had to face a lot of criticism and complaints that our reports were absurd, but there were few who believed on our quality from day one. We started with Routine Pathology and Sonography, while Thyroid Samples still was reported from Mumbai Lab. With time we started adding Thyroid Instrument, then Digital Xray, CT Scan and ECG. With time we have upgraded our instruments and methods and today we stand here only because we have always thought of constant up gradation to keep pace with all Metro Cities.
