X-Cell Laboratories of WNY, Inc. (X-Cell) is an independent commercial reference laboratory specializing in anatomic and clinical pathology, hematopathology, and community cancer diagnostics. X-Cell provides laboratory services to hospitals, healthcare systems, clinics, and privately-owned medical practices throughout Western New York and beyond.
At X-Cell Laboratories, our clinical technologists and technicians process specimens from a comprehensive menu of laboratory tests and services.
X-Cell specializes in the microscopic examination of biopsies and tissue specimens collected during various types of procedures. Our pathologists will analyze and diagnose specimens to help clinicians treat their patients accordingly.
Biopsy Categories:
X-Cell accepts clinical samples and forwards them to the appropriate reference laboratory. This process allows physicians to send all samples to one location for proper triage and specimen handling.
X-Cell offers cytogenetic testing using chromosome analysis. Karyotypes can be done to detect chromosome abnormalities that can be found in congenital or various neoplastic and cancer processes.
Prenatal, perinatal, and cancer testing can be done on:
X-Cell offers malignant leukocyte immunophenotyping using several leukemia and lymphoma panels by flow cytometry. Immunophenotypic analysis of white blood cells can aid in distinguishing between non-neoplastic and malignant disease states. Flow cytometry is performed as an ancillary test to help diagnose and characterize disease entities such as acute leukemias, lymphoproliferative disorders, myeloid neoplasms, and plasma cell dyscrasias.
Sample types:
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a technique used to detect and locate a specific DNA sequence on a chromosome.
FISH testing can be done on breast and gastric tissue removed during a surgical procedure to see if the cells have extra copies of the Her2 gene. Testing can help facilitate a cancer diagnosis by concentrating on the genetic material in a patient's cells. Results of the test can help guide treatment and cancer care.
FISH testing can also be done on bone marrow and peripheral blood samples to look for abnormal genes involved in certain types of blood cancer.
X-Cell offers liquid-based cytology and conventional cytology methods for the analysis of pap smear specimens as part of our women's health test menu. Pap smears are done by collecting cells from the cervical or vaginal area and submitting the sample for analysis. This test is useful as an aid in detecting precancerous and cancerous cells, as well as other cervical and vaginal problems and inflammation. Pap testing can be ordered with or without HPV testing.
Sample types:
Hematopathology is a division of pathology that deals with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. X-Cell specializes in the diagnosis of hematologic diseases using morphologic, cytochemical, and immunophenotypic analysis of several types of specimens.
Hematopathology categories:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used in conjunction with histopathology to help define or categorize a diagnosis. X-Cell can provide special stains and antibodies that can be ordered after initial examination of a tissue specimen.
X-Cell provides a variety of molecular diagnostic tests which can be ordered from different types of patient samples. Utilizing molecular techniques can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious, genetic, and toxicological diseases.
Women's health:
Enteric testing:
Respiratory testing:
X-Cell offers different methodologies for the processing and analysis of non-gynecologic specimen types. Cytology testing helps identify and diagnose cancerous and noncancerous cells. Test results can be used to help classify disease and guide treatment options. Samples include, but are not limited to, bone, breast, lymph node, mandible, paracentesis, parotid, thoracentesis, thyroid, and vertebra.
Sample types:
X-Cell's test menu provides a comprehensive list of anatomic, clinical, and specialty laboratory testing services.
