Clinical Chemistry

All of the following analytes are analyzed in the clinical chemistry department except;

• Thyroid panel

• Lipid Panel

• Electrolyte Panel

• Coagulation Panel

The decision as to what tube will be collected to run test is made by the;

• Laboratory Manager

• Bench Supervisor

• Manufacture of the analyzer

• The technologist

Instruments that are used for testing at the bedside or only use one drop of whole blood are known as;

• PACT instruments

• INR Instruments

• CBC Instruments

• POCT instruments

If the doctor suspects that you are having a heart attack he or she might order this panel;

• Hepatic

• Lipid

• cardiac

• Thyroid

If you are looking at a patients results and you see this next to the results 70-120mg/dl. This is known as the

• Normal range for that analyte

• Normal range for all analytes

• Abnormal range for that analyte

• Abnormal range for all analytes

Reference range means the same as the normal range

• True

• False

in the ___________________analyzer samples flow in sequence through a channel; each sample in the batch or run is subjected to the same analytical reaction

• Discrete

• Continous -flow

• Automated

• None of the above

The __________________analyzer processes each specimen separately generally in steps.

• Continuous flow

• Discrete

• Automated

• None of the above

Which methodology for testing would not involve the use of a light source?

• Spectrophotometry

• Photometry

• Ion select electrode

• Nephelometry

QC must be run on a regular basis and the data must be charted and checked to make sure the instrument and the reagents are working properly. All automated instruments in clinical chemistry have a _______________chart display to make sure they are keeping record.

• Name of reagents

• L M N chart
