The process starts with nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabbing to get a sample. Explain concisely how this technique generally works and how it can be used for testing.arrow_forwardPlease explain: A laboratory scientist working the night shift receives a sample for send-out testing. The test is ordered infrequently, so the laboratory scientist consults the reference laboratory manual for instructions on how to process the sample. The processing instructions say to send two samples, a serum sample and a 1:100 dilution of serum, both refrigerated. 1. The sample received by the laboratory is in a gold-topped tube with a serum separator. Is this sample adequate to process for the send-out test? Select the best letter choice and give a brief explanation. A. Yes. The tube is adequate for a test requiring serum. B. No. This tube is not adequate for a test requiring serum. 2. The laboratory scientist confirms that the sample is adequate for processing. What is his next step? Choose the best letter answer and give a brief explanation. A.
