Chemistry Test - Determines the chemical makeup of blood (e.g., cholesterol level).
Microbiology Test - Determines the presence of bacteria or other organisms in blood, other body fluids, or tissue (e.g., throat cultures).
Blood Bank - Determines the appropriate blood units and components to be used in a transfusion.

Examines tissue obtained by a biopsy or other surgical procedures.

Diagnostic Cytopathology is a subspecialty study of pathology focusing on cellular disease. Obtaining information from exfoliated cells allows for precancerous lesions to be discovered and treated before fully turning into cancer. Cell specimens are removed either through abrasion or fine needle aspiration from various body sites breast, thyroid, lymph node, liver, etc.

Hematopathology, as a subspecialty of General Pathology, deals with the study of diseases and disorders of the blood and blood forming tissues comprising the hematopoietic system, including, in addition to blood, the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and liver. Erythrocytes, granulocytes, platelets, monocytes, and lymphocytes function within this system. This includes both morphologic as well as sophisticated cell identification (Flow cytometry) and cytogenetic analysis.

Pediatric pathology is a subspecialty of pathology devoted to diseases and developmental abnormalities of infants and children. Unlike other pathology subspecialties, pediatric pathology is age graded, and focuses on patients from the womb up to young adulthood. The pediatric pathologist studies biopsies and other tissue samples and provides diagnostic information to pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and other pediatric caregivers to assist in understanding and treating patients.

The evaluation of non-tumor tissue from kidneys is used to classify and provide information for treatment and prognosis of the various causes of kidney failure.
