Chemistry analysers are medical laboratory devices used to calculate the concentration of certain substances within samples of serum, plasma, urine and/or other body fluids for tests in kidney and other related diseases. Substances analysed through this instrument include certain metabolites, electrolytes, proteins, and/or drugs.
In the past, ICPA has donated four 2-D echo machines to KEM Hospital for its cardiac and ophthalmic departments and also, an electrosurgical unit for its gastrointestinal (GI) department. Availability of these machines has eased treatment for numerous patients at the hospital.
ICPA also supports the education of students through the Ramkrishna Vivekanand Charitable Trust up to their graduation and provides medical aid to the needy in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, where it has its manufacturing facility. The company also offers marginalised, young children with access to computers through Kuntunath Foundation and imparts them with the basic IT knowledge and skills. The company has empowered close to 100 students over the last four years through several such initiatives. It also has undertaken water-harvesting projects in the region which has benefitted over 8 schools with access to clean water.
