Specimen receiving
- 1. Biochemistry Lab Mr. MOHAMED A. ADAM Medical Lab Technologist KCCC
- 3. Samples Received with requests Centrifugation of samples Data are entered in the LIS to get barcode Barcodes are stick on the tubes then distributed to machine Sample Processing Results are Reported and Released Clean your bench with fresh actichlor
- 4. WHAT WE ARE RECEIVE? •Specimen type • Whole Blood 1. Plasma 2. Serum • Body Fluid 1. Cerebro-spinal Fluid CSF Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. CSF acts as a cushion, protecting the brain and spine from injury. The fluid is normally clear same as water.
- 6. Phlebotomist draws sample 1.Gentlly invert five times To mix dot activator with blood 2. Allow blood to clot in a vertical position Observe a dense clot 3.Centrifuge for 10 min. at 3000 rpm
