Good Laboratory Practice

Clinical laboratory professionals perform a wide range of tests to provide information for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Laboratory tests are classified into four major areas: microbiology, blood banking, clinical chemistry and hematology. Clinical laboratory professionals collect and process specimens, perform tests, analyze and interpret results, and report data. Each of these steps requires high standards of quality, accuracy and timeliness. Laboratory personnel are categorized into…

manufacturing in healthcare than a clinical laboratory. Leisurely practices are prone to poor healthcare value which drives down patient satisfaction and drives up costs, hence affecting an entities profitable margin. Laboratory experts can define two phases of value when discussing the production of laboratory testing as either value-added or non-value added. Generally, value added is only beneficial when a patient or providers recognizes laboratory revisions, that new changes transform the…

Quality translates into the ability to do a better job of producing quality goods and is critical when improving the efficiency of individual workers thereby allowing a company to become more competitive (Davis & Goetsch, 2010). The field of healthcare must improve its operations, technologies and human capital to ensure quality, competitiveness and ensure patient safety. Therefore, healthcare must adopt new and improved methods, technology and equipment to advance within their field.…

assignment is to pinpoint an area of practice that has significant concerns surrounding it, the issue has been identified through the most recent (August 2016) parent and carer questionnaire. In addition to this it is also to identify at what point in time these issues may have occurred and why these particular issues arose. Next to devise a plan on how the organisation, both management and staff are going to respond and resolve matters, therefore this creates a better practice. And finally to…

the patient will contact hence will be the person to start planning of her care. The nurse as a coordinator in health team start by assessing patient health, Do vital sign and invite other health team professional, she will be the one to collate laboratory results make sure patient is review with the result and medical diagnosis is made, then make nursing diagnosis set target goal, plan care implement and evaluate it and when patient is eventually improve with cares provided, she is the one that…

Introduction In this capstone project, we were expected to discuss a topic relevant to the laboratory in which we deemed important. In the pre-analytical steps that lead to the brainstorming and writing of this capstone project we reflected on how few in numbers or major was and how little others knew of our major. In addition to these facts, we discussed how a recent hospital neglected to include a laboratory in their initial design made us question our importance. After these discussions, we…

Introduction: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the density of powdered grape. The company Gatorade has advertised that G2 powder replenishes fluids and electrolytes in the body’s blood stream during exercise. G2 has aided in staying hydrated, “maintain normal muscle performance, heart rate and brain activity” (1). In relation, there has been a rise in sports drink purchase to improve athletic performance. The experiment examined a basic level of G2 powders composition, the…

To begin the first part of the experiment, zeolite and magnetized zeolite had to be synthesized. First, it was necessary to set up a contraption to hold a thermometer in place. This was done using a split cork and a 3 prong clam on a ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH was then added to a 250 mL beaker with a magnetic stir bar placed inside. After placing the solution on the stir bar, 3.7560 g of (sodium aluminate) was added to the solution. The thermometer was also added to the solution, but it…

After putting each compound into the blended meal, then it was determined whether it contains organic or inorganic in it. The bacon ranch salad reacted negatively to the solutions. While also being tested on a well-plate and hot-plate, it still remained the same color. Therefore, the blended mixture does not contain any organic substances such as protein. We began our experiment by gathering our materials and began to test the change in the blended mixture by putting a small amount in well…

Lab 4 in Chem 115 has three parts all calculating density. In part one, a 100 mL beaker, a volumetric pipet, and an analytical scale were obtained. To begin, the mass of the beaker was taken using an analytical scale. Then, 10.0 mL of an unknown liquid was transfered to the beaker using the volumetric pipet. Next, the mass of the beaker and liqiud was recorded along with the letter identifying the unknown liquid. By subtracting the mass of the 100 mL beaker from the mass of the beaker and liquid…
