A further sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. To 18 mls of blood, 2 mls of anticoagulant were added and 5 mls of this sample was centrifuged and a 2.6 ml pellet of red blood cells obtained. 10 mls of water were added and mixed to lyse the cells before a further centrifugation to remove cell membranes from the sample. 1 ml of this sample was further diluted by the addition of 5 mls of water to provide a stock sample of haemoglobin. What was the final dilution factor for this haemoglobin stock solution? O 1.16.76 QUESTION 3 О 2.1.67 О 3.1247 O 4.1.51 O 5.61.89
You are performing an experiment to diagnose three patients who are ill. In a hematology lab, you run a CBC using the hematology analyzer on all 3 of your patience blood samples, once you collect that data, you then conduct a blood smear/stain to get a better look at the 3 patients blood cells and compare those results to those of the CBC report. You conclude that patient 1 has malaria, patient 2 has sickle cell anemia, and patient 3 has hemophilia. Can you Identify your independent, dependent and controlled variables?
GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved immunoglobin A (70. to 312. mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 250 µL. Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of immunoglobin A that the new system must be able to detect. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg 0 x10 X
The physician ordered erythromycin 500 mg IV every 8 hours for infection. The pharmacy sends a vial labeled: Erythromycin 1 g. The nursing drug reference provides information to reconstitute 1 g of erythromycin with 20 mL of sterile water and further dilute in 250 mL of 0.9% NS and to infuse over 2 hours. How many ml will you draw from the vial after reconstitution and add it to the IV bag of 0.9% NS 250 mL? 20 mL 5 mL 15 mL 10 mL Page 10 of 14 Previous Page Next Page
1 ml of whole blood is collected and centrifuged to obtain a plasma sample. The volume of the plasma sample is 300 microlitres. A 1 in 4 dilution of the plasma is made and analysed using a cholesterol assay like the one you performed in the laboratory. 10 microlitres of both the diluted plasma sample and a cholesterol standard are assayed using 1mL of cholesterol reagent. Following incubation at 37 degrees Celcius, the samples are measured spectrophotometrically at 500nm. If the absorbance of the plasma sample assay was 0.5, the absorbance of the cholesterol standard assay was 0.4, and the concentration of cholesterol in the standard was 1.3mM, what was the concentration of the cholesterol in the whole blood (in mM)? (assume all of the cholesterol in the whole blood sample was recovered in the plasma; do not include units in your answer; give your answer to 2 decimal places)
You are given a cell stock A. You make a 1:100 dilution and load 10uL diluted sample to a hemocytometer. After counting all 5 "one millimeter squares" you have 51 cells in average. (Please write down each step)T 1. What is the cell concentration of this diluted sample? 2. What is the cell concentration of original cell stock ? 3. If the original stock A has a total volume of 5mL, what is total number of cells in the A? 4. You decide to do a 1:1000 dilution to verify your counting. After loading and counting, you find out that you have 20 cells in average in each square. Do you think the new concentration is consistent with your previous result? If not, list all the possible errors that can cause this inconsistency. MacBook Air
