A medical procedure in which a pregnant woman's blood is drawn and analyzed for the levels of certain hormones and proteins
According to Hopkin's Medicine, the tests that are recommended for pregnant women at 20 weeks are the Ultrasound test, two maternal serum tests, and an alpha-fetoprotein screening.
RhoGAM
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a substance that is measured in the maternal serum when a neural tube defect is suspected. High levels of AFP may indicate a neural tube defect in the fetus.
Passive immunity can be given naturaly or artificially.Natural Passive Immunity can be acquired from the maternal colustrum and maternal placenta.While artificial passive immunity is given parenteraly examples are: anti tetanus serum and antivenin.
The most common screening for HIV tests for antibodies in the blood; however most infants born to infected mothers test positive for 6-18 months because of the presence of maternal antibodies.
Titrant is the solution of known concentration that is added to the analyte during a titration to determine its concentration. The analyte is the substance being analyzed in the solution that reacts with the titrant.
The Serum Separator tube is used when they want to test the serum of the blood. For tests like (NA, K, CL, CO2, LD, HDL) any type of chemistry. It is also used for tests like neonatal bilirubin or an AFP non maternal. There is special gel that separates blood cells from serum, as well as particles to cause blood to clot quickly. The blood sample may then be centrifuged, allowing the clear serum to be removed for testing.
First of all it's spelt "does". Secondly you should consider looking into a wonderful website known as "Google". Finally Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein.
