LAB EQUIPMENTS
Medical laboratory equipment is any technological system or device used to
diagnose, treat, prevent or rehabilitate. Many breakthroughs in instruments and
appliances have made very intricate procedures possible with considerable accuracy.
DAY-1
The RED TUBE is Plain vacuum container. This is used for blood collection
and storage for biochemistry, immunology, serology, and test of various kinds
of microelements in a medical inspection.
The plain vial for blood collection has good compatibility, able to match
with many biochemical, immunological, blood, and other analyzers'
transmission devices.

K3 EDTA TUBE(Purple colour tube):
It’s a tube coated with spray-dried K3EDTA on its inner wall. EDTA acts as
an anticoagulant, binding the calcium ions and interrupting the clotting of
the blood sample.
Glucose tubes are primarily used for the collection and storage of blood
samples for glucose testing.
5
PT,APT TUBE:(Blue colour tube)
PROTHROMBIN TIME(PT):
PT measures the time it takes for blood to clot. It evaluates the extrinsic
pathway of coagulation and is commonly used to monitor the effectiveness of
anticoagulant therapy (e.g., warfarin).

DAY-2
TEST TUBES,PIPETTE
TEST TUBES:
A Test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of
laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open
at the top and closed at the bottom.
PIPETTE:

DAY-3
BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE
Most microscopes old today are binocular microscopes though the interplay between
the two lenses can differ depending on the microscope type.
BIO-CHEMISTRY
INTRODUCTION
DAY-4
NAME OF THE TEST
GLUCOSE
Glucose tubes are primarily used for the collection and storage of blood
samples for glucose testing.
9
Principle:
UV test enzymatic reference method with hexokinase .Hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to
glucose-6-phosphate by ATP. Glucose + ATP Hexokinase G-6- P+ ADP Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase
oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate in the presence of NADP to gluconate-6-phosphate. The rate of NADPH formation
during the reaction is directly proportional to the glucose concentration and is measured photometrically.
Procedure:
Separate the serum or plasma sample from the test tube with the help of micro pipette. Take the sample in a cuvette.
Give the command to the analyzer and select the tests. Press ok. Then place the cuvette in the analyzer. Analyzer gives
result automatically.

LIPIDPROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Total cholestral:
Here are the ranges for total cholesterol in adults: Normal: Less
than 200 mg/dL. Borderline high: 200 to 239 mg/dL. High: At or above 240 mg/dL.
Your HDL should be above 60. It's the helpful cholesterol. An HDL
above 60 offers you protection against heart disease.
These are the adult ranges for LDL cholesterol: Optimal: Less than
100 mg/dL (This is the goal for people with diabetes or heart disease.) Near optimal: 100
to129 mg/dL. Borderline high: 130 to 159 mg/dL.

DAY-6
LIVER FUNCTION TEST
BILIRUBIN
Aim
Liver function tests (also called a liver panel)use a sample of your blood to measure several substances
made by your liver.
Principle:
Bilirubin reacts with diazo mixture & forms pink coloured complex. Which is measured
colourimetrically.
1. 1-Bilirubin (Diazo B) 50
2. 2-Bilirubin (Diazo A) 50
3. Sample 50
Direct Bilirubin:
1. 1-Bilirubin (Diazo B) 50
2. 2-Bilirubin (Di/azo A) 50

3. Sample 50
Mix. Carefully incubate at room temperature for 2 min & read the absorbance at540nm
&630nm against distilled water
Normal range:
Total bilirubin : 0.4 to 1.1 mg/dl
Direct bilirubin : 0.1 to 0.4 mg/dl
Case study 1
Sample 1
Age/sex : 45/female
Clinical significance:
High levels of bilirubin in the blood may caused by:
Diseases that cause blockage of the bile ducts, such as gallstones or cancelof
the pancreas.

SEROLOGY
The examination of antibodies and other substances in the serum
(clearliquidpartoftheblood).Serologytestsareusedtolookforthepresenceofantibodies in the
blood that show whether a person has been exposed to a virus or other infectious agent.
DAY-7
Principle:
Bacterial suspension which carry antigen will agglutinate on exposure to antibodies to Salmonella
organisms. Patients‟ suffering from enteric fever would possess antibodies in their sera which can react and
agglutinate serial doubling dilutions of killed, colored Salmonella antigens in a agglutination test.
The main principle of widal test is that if homologous antibody is present in patients
serum, it will react with respective antigen in the reagent and gives visible clumping on
the test card and agglutination in the tube. The antigens used in the test are “H” and “O”
antigens of SalmonellaTyphi and “H” antigen of [Link]. The paratyphoid “O”
antigen are not employed as they cross react with typhoid “O” antigen due to the
sharingof factor 12. “O” antigen is a somatic antigen and “H” antigen is flagellar
antigen.
Procedure:
SLIDE TEST
1. Place one drop of positive control on one reaction circles of the slide.
2. Pipette one drop of Isotonic saline on the next reaction cirlcle. (-ve Control).
3. Pipette one drop of the patient serum tobe tested onto the remaining four reaction circles.
4. Add one drop of Widal TEST antigen suspension „H‟ to the first two reaction circles. (PC &
NC).
5. Add one drop each of „O‟, „H‟, „AH‟ and „BH‟ antigens to the remaining four reaction circles.
6. Mix contents of each circle uniformly over the entire circle with separate mixing sticks.
7. Rock the slide, gently back and forth and observe for agglutination microscopically within
one minute.
Clinical significance:
Agglutination is a positive test result and if the positive reaction is observed with 20 ul of test
sample, it indicates presence of clinically significant levels of the corresponding antibody in the
patient serum.
No agglutination is a negative test result and indicates absence of clinically significant levels
of the corresponding antibody in the patient serum.
DAY-8
HIV,HCV TEST
HCV TEST
The virus can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in
severity from a mild illness to a serious, lifelong illness including liver cirrhosis and cancer.
DAY-9
HBsAg, VDRLTEST
HBsAg TEST
INTRODUCTION
VDRL TEST
INTRODUCTION
Hamatologyis the study of blood, blood components, and blood disorders it involves studying the
anatomy and physiology of blood cells and other cells that compressed blood like Red blood cells, White
blood cells, Platelets and hemoglobin.
Analysis of blood concentration, structure and function of the cells and their precursors
in the bone marrow.
Analysis of chemical constituents of plasma or serum intimately, linked blood cells
structure and function.
Study of function of the platelets and proteins involved in blood coagulation.
By hematology analyzer Hb, RBC, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, WBC‟s ,Neutrophils,
Lymphocytes, eosinophils ,Monocytes, Basophils and Platelets we were performed. These all test
collectively aer called complete blood count or complete picture. These test was performed by the
whole blood which was not clotted . the CP test was performed by the hematology analyzer which
automatically sucked the blood and display result within one minute on the computer screen.

BLOOD GROUPING
Blood typing is a method to tell what type of blood you have. Blood
typing is done so you can safely donate your blood or receive a blood transfusion.
Principle:
It is an antigen-antibody reaction. Mainly there are 3 types of antisera for ABO and 1 antisera
for Rh D. These are specific antibodies, IgM type. If one type of antisera is mixed with red cells give
agglutination means the corresponding antigen is present on the RBC surfaces. with anti-A gives
agglutination with red cells means the group is A. When agglutination gives in anti-B RBC mixture then
B group. No reaction on A or B termed as O. If positive reaction on both A & B the group is AB. Rh
positive cells will agglutinate with anti-D antisera. Normally, tube test is done in bloofd banks. Reverse
Procedure:
Place one drop of antisera A antisera B and antisera D on three different on a slide.
And 1 drop of blood and mix with sterile stick.
Observe for agglutination.
OBSERVATION
