The quality control of blood smears involves checking for proper staining, appropriate cell distribution, presence of artifacts, and the overall morphology of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Quality control also includes ensuring that the sample is adequately spread and covers the entire slide without clumping or overlapping of cells. Regularly monitoring and reviewing blood smears can help ensure accurate and reliable results for diagnosis and interpretation.

Reasons why a smear from a gram-positive control showed a gram-negative result?
Possible reasons for a gram-positive control smear showing a gram-negative result could include errors in the staining process, contamination of the specimen with gram-negative bacteria, or misidentification of the control as a gram-positive organism when it is actually gram-negative. Additional troubleshooting and repeat testing may be needed to confirm the result.
Why must slides used in smear preparations be grease free?
Slides used in smear preparations must be grease-free to ensure proper adhesion of the specimen to the slide. Grease can interfere with staining procedures and cause smudging or artifacts in the microscopic view. It can also affect the quality of the specimen and make it difficult to interpret the results accurately.
Why do you have to use NSS instead of water in preparing fecal smear?
NSS (normal saline solution) is used instead of water in preparing a fecal smear to prevent lysis (rupturing) of red blood cells in the sample. Using water can cause hemolysis, which may interfere with the accurate interpretation of the fecal sample. Normal saline is isotonic and helps maintain the integrity of the red blood cells in the smear.
