Unveiling hidden threats! Learn the quick & easy technique for preparing thick blood smears to identify malaria, leishmaniasis & other blood parasites.
Lab Protocols
Iron Studies Interpretation: The Highs and Lows
Iron studies reveal iron deficiency, overload, and other conditions. Learn how MCV, ferritin, and other markers help decipher iron status and guide treatment.
Blood Collection Tube (Vacutainer) Colors & Types
Blood collection tubes come in various colors for specific tests. Red & gold tubes separate serum, while purple & pink tubes prevent clotting for blood cell analysis. Choose the right tube for accurate results!
Phlebotomy Procedure: Best Practices & Venipuncture
Phlebotomy involves drawing blood using a needle from a vein in the arm. To ensure patient comfort and accurate results, a skilled phlebotomist locates a vein, disinfects the area, inserts a needle, collects blood, and then removes the needle and applies pressure.

JAK2 V617F Mutation Allele Specific PCR Protocol
Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
Serologic Crossmatching (Blood Compatibility Test)
Cross-matching mimics transfusion by mixing recipient serum & donor cells. Clumping (agglutination) indicates incompatibility, preventing transfusion reactions.
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.
