Surface markers, also known as clusters of differentiation (CDs), act like identifying badges for different types of white blood cells.
Lab Protocols
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Preparation for PCR
Agarose gel electrophoresis: where we separate and visualize amplified DNA fragments.
Hb S Sickling Test
This test unmasks sickle cells: crescent shadows under the microscope, revealing HbS’s hidden grip on red blood cells.
Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping of Blood
Blood cells stained with fluorescent antibodies reveal hidden markers, like a cellular fingerprint. Flow cytometry analyzes millions of cells, painting a detailed picture of immune health, disease clues, and treatment insights.
Hematopoietic cell surface markers
Surface markers, also known as clusters of differentiation (CDs), act like identifying badges for different types of white blood cells.
Hb S Sickling Test
This test unmasks sickle cells: crescent shadows under the microscope, revealing HbS’s hidden grip on red blood cells.
Immunohistochemistry Staining (IHC)
This immunohistochemistry protocol guides you step-by-step through visualizing specific proteins in tissue sections, aiding in accurate diagnosis of various diseases.
Platelet Aggregation Test (PAT)
Platelet aggregation test: Checking how blood cells clump to form clots using different agonists.
Hemolysate Preparation for Hb Electrophoresis or Alkaline Denaturation Tests
Red blood cells lysed to release hemoglobin for Hb electrophoresis and alkaline denaturation test. Hemolysate preparation requires careful steps to ensure accuracy and reliability of results.
Manual APTT Mixing Studies
Manual APTT mixing studies involve mixing patient plasma with normal plasma or specific factor concentrates to differentiate factor deficiencies from inhibitors
ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method
The ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method is a serological technique used to determine an individual’s blood type by mixing blood serum and red blood cells with antisera and observing for agglutination.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for Identification of Hemoglobin Subtypes
HPLC for hemoglobin subtype identification separates and quantifies different hemoglobin variants based on their unique chromatographic properties.
