Blood bank automation Flashcards
Immediate spin
Do Blood typing
RH typing
or anything with a phenotype
Gold standard for testing in BB
tube testing
and your are the final say in results
employment, salary, electricity, machines=
Operational cost
Blood blank automation allows for more what and fewer what
more efficiency and fewer techs
Automation allows for increased
turn around time
you have to show that new machines match
current machines in efficiency
Kids picked up way faster in what
Solid phase then in tube and gel phase
Random access mode
Anytime you have a new specimen it can start up and do testing.
Simultaneous multiple analyze
Do multiple test at once. Blood typing vs ITE
Benchtop in most
Hospitals
Floor top in most
Reference labs
Liquid=
How much serum, plamsa, in tube. = short sample.
Automation doesn’t require as
Much of a sample therefore you can use left over sample for tube tests.
If you have a
STAT specimen it stops the regular samples and allows you to put in stat sample
Stand alone system
Still do pipetting/ Interpretation but the machine can incubate, wash only
there can be a bead
Bead at the bottom of bottle to spin at bottom in hemagglutination
The machine will
Interpretation of results
MLS has to
Verify what the machine states before results are sent out.
BIO-RAD
Has hemaagglutination test.
Erytype S test
Pre-coated with Anti-sera and immunor core added antisera in well
SPRCA assays will put
RBCs on bottom of wells so dont have to use RBC reagents but keeping humidity is important.
increased Humidity= messed up results.
LIST
ADD two drops contains proteins indicators to make sure sample was added to test well
