31
Q

How to process a bloody sample

A

First aliquot and spin down the urine sample.

Hemolyzed: Manually report color, clarity and specific gravity (using a refractometer) for CHE (using original container). For the other CHE test in LIS report “TNP” and add comment “Unable to report due to color interference”. Perform manual microscopy.

Non-hemolyzed: Manually report color, clarity and specific gravity (using a refractometer) for the CHE test, run the other CHE test in the analyzer. For the other CHE test add comment “Exercise caution with interpretation of results, bloody sample”. Perform manual microscopy, using original container.

32
Q

How to process a Pyridium sample

A

If the specimen has a color interference like a pyridine sample:
Manually report color, clarity and specific gravity (using a refractometer) for the CHE test. For the other CHE test in LIS report “TNP” and add comment “Unable to report due to color interference”. Perform FCM analysis sample in manual analysis mode for FCM.
