Document Summary
Clinical chemistry instrumentation use various analytical principles to measure the concentration or activity of biological molecules. In order to effectively determine the relationship between a measurement output and its corresponding value, an activity known as calibration must occur. You"ve already performed calibrations as part of the spectrophotometric work performed in integrative studies 1 and the principle of spectrophotometric calibration on an automated chemistry analyzer is similar. In addition to spectrophotometric calibration, you will perform calibrations for ion selective electrodes (rxl and blood gas analyzer) and the osmometer this term. In terms of clinical chemistry workflow, all activities are informed by the need to ensure that patient safety is protected by maintaining the both the custody and integrity of the patient sample. You will become familiar with the concepts of clinical chemistry workflow in your bcit laboratory session which will directly translate into practice at your clinical site in level 4 and 5.
