What else can I help you with?
What is a particular organism or part of a organism being studied called?
Specimen
Is what you look at under a microscope called a specimen?
Yes - but a specimen can be something that is not observed under a microscope as well. For example, if you ever went on a walk in the country, picked a wildflower that grew there, and brought it home, you would have a specimen of a native plant that grew in the area where you found it.
Does using a scanning electron microscope kill specimen?
No, using a scanning electron microscope does not kill the specimen. The specimen is placed in a vacuum chamber during imaging, but this process does not kill the specimen.
Is the CBC funded by taxpayers?
Yes, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is a publicly funded broadcaster in Canada, receiving funding from the government through taxpayer dollars.
Which microcollection container would be used to collect a CBC?
A lavender-top tube, also known as an EDTA tube, is typically used to collect a complete blood count (CBC) sample. This tube contains the anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which helps preserve the integrity of the blood sample for accurate analysis.
A cbc specimen rejected for testing by the hematology dept the tube was filled completelly and labeled properly what might have been the reason for rejection?
One potential reason for rejection could be that the specimen clotted before analysis. Clotted samples can interfere with accurate testing of the complete blood count (CBC) parameters. Another reason could be hemolysis, which is the breakdown of red blood cells, leading to inaccurate results. It's also possible that there was an issue with transportation or handling of the sample that compromised its integrity.
Into what type of vacuum tube would a phlebotomist draw a specimen to be used for a CBC?
CBC is lavender PTT is Light Blue
Would a icteric bilirubin specimen be rejected?
It depends on the laboratory's guidelines. If the icteric bilirubin specimen interferes with the accuracy of the test results, then it may be rejected. In some cases, the specimen may be processed but flagged for having abnormal color.
What test specimen is collected first by capillary puncture?
cbc
A cbc specimen rejected for testing by the hematology dept the tube was filled completely and labeled properly what might have been the reason for rejection?
The specimen may have been clotted, hemolyzed, or not properly mixed. It could also have been expired or contaminated. It's important to follow proper blood collection procedures to ensure accurate test results.
Is a CBC a pre-analytical or analytical variable?
A CBC (complete blood count) is considered an analytical variable. The pre-analytical phase involves specimen collection and handling before analysis, while the analytical phase involves the actual testing and analysis of the specimen, which includes processing it to obtain results.
Will warming up a specimen drawn for a cbc cause an abnormal result?
Warming a specimen drawn for cbc to 37 celcius, or body temperature, will not cause an abnormal result. Most CBC analyzers are maintained at this temperature internally so the blood is partially warmed before being analyzed anyways. For some people, the blood MUST be warmed because of proteins (cold agglutinants) that can cause abnormal results if not prewarmed. However, heating the blood over body temperature can damage the cells and lead to abnormal results.
Would you use a lavender tube to collect a CBC?
Yes. Lavender tubes are for CBC w/ differential
Why would pathology specimen be rejected?
Pathology specimens may be rejected for several reasons, including improper labeling, inadequate sample volume, or contamination. Additionally, if the specimen is not collected or transported according to established protocols, or if it is received in a state that compromises its integrity (e.g., excessive delay in processing), it may also be deemed unacceptable. Ensuring proper handling and documentation is crucial to maintain the quality and reliability of the diagnostic process.
What section of the lab would process CBC?
Lab
What would you see if you observe a specimen with a magnifying glass?
Obviously, an enlarged specimen.
How big would the specimen look?
the specimen is the objective the microscope and a parts of microscope
