In science: examining samples of animal and human blood. Counting and comparing different types of blood cells in a sample. In medicine: basic blood count, or estimating percentage of certain types of blood cells. Healthy person's blood count is ALWAYS within a certain range. That is very important in diagnosing many diseases, such as lymphomas, anemias, cancers, and many, many others. DNA, RNA, sugar or any other chemical cannot be tested on blood smear, because this is entirely visual technique.
The Clinical Chemistry Section of a Hospital Pathology Laboratory will prpbably undertake protein electrophoresis on the blood samples from patients.
The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) is responsible for providing guidelines on the recommended order of draw for blood collection. They publish standards and best practices to ensure accurate and reliable laboratory test results.
Blood smears of patients without spleens are likely to show Howell-Jolly bodies, which are nuclear remnants normally removed by the spleen. Additionally, there may be an increase in target cells and spherocytes due to altered red blood cell morphology. This can be a diagnostic indicator of asplenia.
Romanowsky stains, such as Wright's stain and Giemsa stain, are commonly used in the laboratory setting for staining blood smears to visualize and differentiate various blood cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These stains provide contrast that allows for easy identification of cell types and abnormalities under the microscope. They are versatile and widely utilized in hematology and microbiology.
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are obtained from circulating blood rather than from bone marrow, but the amount of stem cells found in the peripheral blood is much smaller than the amount of stem cells found in the bone marrow.
Strength of pulses is one clinical indicator of peripheral blood flow. Another is capillary refill time.
The chemistry section of the clinical laboratory typically performs pregnancy tests on blood specimens.
Photometer is an equipment commonly used on a clinical laboratory. It has different kinds which can do certain jobs like testing blood samples. The examples of photometer used in a clinical laboratory are the flame photometer and Hemoglobin Photometer.
A CBC, or complete blood count, is a clinical procedure that can aid in the diagnosis of leukemia and anemia. The peripheral blood smear can also be helpful in diagnosis.
Exposure to Chemical Hazards. Exposure to blood-borne pathogens
Clinical centrifuge are devices used for clinical applications like blood collection tubes. These laboratory equipment are driven by motor and spins liquid samples at high speed.
The Clinical Chemistry Section of a Hospital Pathology Laboratory will prpbably undertake protein electrophoresis on the blood samples from patients.
A varied and stimulating discipline which involves laboratory investigation and clinical management of patients with disorders of the blood.
"a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the laboratory analysis of bodily fluids such as blood and urine"
Blood Additive are the chemicals that are used in storing blood specimen carried out for clinical laboratory investigations. Different Blood additive or Anti-coagulants are used in different types of requirement.
