Introduction and Apparatus Flashcards
A chemical substance that is the subject of chemical analysis
ANALYTE
A compound or a mixture added to a system to cause a chemical reaction or test if a reaction occurs
REAGENT
Type of reagent used in most analyticsl laboratory procedures for qualitative and quantitative analysis. (e.g. Trace Metal Analysis, Standard Prep(
ANALYTICAL REAGENT GRADE
Type of reagent where have been put through additional purification steps and is used in SPECTROPHOTOMETER, CHROMATOGRAPHY, and MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS.
ULTRAPURE REAGENTS
Reagents from many vendors may be adapted to an analyser
Open Reagent System
The proprietary reagents from the instrument manufacturer are suitable for use on the analyser
CLOSED REAGENT SYSTEM
Sample that is chemically and physically similar to unknown specimen and is tested in exactly the same manner, close to human sample
CONTROL
Values are assigned by the manufacturer
ASSAY CONTROL
Values are assigned by each individual laboratory
UNASSAYED CONTROL
Type of water that has MAXIMUM WATER PURITY, used in Ultramicrochenical Analysis and Tissue Culture
TYPE 1 REAGENT WATER
Type of water used in most laboratory tests. Used in Standard Preparation, Reagent Preparation, and Control Preparation
TYPE 2 REAGENT WATER
Type of Water used for most qualitative tests such as Histopathology, UA, Fecalysis, and Washing.
TYPE 3 REAGENT WATER
Most common reagent
Water
- It has the presence of relatively little solute
- It has a large quantity of solute in solution
- A solution in which there is an excess of undissolved solute particles
- It has a greater concentration of undissolved solute particles than dies a saturated
- Dilute Solution
- Concentrated Solution
- Saturated Solution
- Super Saturated Solution
Most commonly isolated bacteria from water purification process.
