Basic Principles and Practices Flashcards
used as a basis for reference because it has known concentration
Standard
2 types of quality control
normal control
pathologic control
within the reference range
normal control
outside the reference range
pathologic control
what is the difference between precision and accuracy
precision gives a producibility that results in near values while accuracy gives an exact values
DNA samples
Molecular Diagnosis (no contaminants)
only for manufacturing and never used in clinical laboratory
Technical or Commercial Grade Reagent
OSHA Requirements:
- indicate lot number
- physical or biological health hazard
- precautions for safe usage and storage
- MSDS
calibrator and standard materials
Standard reference materials
corrects or increases the precision and accuracy of the machine
calibrator
everything is oxygen there is nothing with this water
distilled water
process of removing microorganism except nutrients
purified water
have the most stringent requirements for the test methods require minimum interference
Type I
what are the composition of type I
Trace metals
Iron
Enzyme
Other analyses
serum in nature that has normal and pathologic control
Quality control
exact, definite and reference
Standard
can remove particulate matter for municipal water supplies
prefiltration
removes organic materials and chlorine
filtration
includes bacteria
submicron filters
2 components of quantitative results
test value and label identifying the units
SI
Syteme International D’ Unites
only system employed in many countries and provide global scientific community with a uniform method of describing physical quantities
SI system units
SI system units
metric system
7 basic units
length (m) mass (kg) quantity of a substance (mole) Time (second) electric current (ampere) thermodynamic temperature (kelvin) luminous intensity (candela)
is a derivative or a mathematical function describing one of the basic units
derived units
The SI uses?
standard prefixes
unit for wavelength
angstrom
all necessary reagents and respective storage containers are prepackaged as a unit
kit
enzymatic
Glucose oxidase
usually readily available
reagents
exist in varying grades of purity
analytic chemicals
ACS
American Chemical Society
states the actual values
Labels on reagents
have been put through additional purification steps for use in specific procedures
Ultrapure chemicals
are used to manufacture drugs, the limitations established for this group of chemicals are based only on criterion of not being injurious to individuals
USP and NF grade chemicals
indicate that the impurity limitations are not stated and that preparation of these chemicals is not uniform
Reagents designation of CP or pure grade
is often used to ascertain the acceptable purity range
melting point
also have varying grades of purity that differs from those used to classify inorganic reagents
organic reagents
approaches the purity level of chemical
CP
which is certified to contain impurities below certain levels established by the ACS
Reagent grade
