About Clinical Laboratory Practice

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources here follow the working life of a clinical laboratory. Some deal with the science behind the tests, such as analytical techniques and instrumentation, electrolyte ranges and normal values. Others deal with how a lab is run: safety, waste, sample handling, quality assurance and accreditation.

Where to start

Begin with the quiz Clinical Labs Test 1- PMU. It asks what biological material is used for clinical chemistry analysis, when plasma with sodium citrate is used, and how a patient should be prepared for testing. These are the basics that later topics build on.

Next, try ASCP Chemistry 1-200. Its questions are more demanding, covering topics such as epinephrine metabolites, alkaline phosphatase and the T3 resin uptake test. It suits professional candidates who want to see where their knowledge is thin.

Using maps, flashcards and quizzes together

Read a mind map first to see the whole picture, then test yourself.

Organization of a cytopathology laboratory sets out staff structure, physical design, specimen sign-out and microscopy.
Week 1 introduces cell biology, homeostasis and acid-base balance.
Sample received in lab has a matching note, made from the map, that you can read alongside it.

After a map, move to a quiz on the same theme. Contemporary Lab Skills - Tissue Culture and Centrifugation is a good follow-up to the flashcard deck scientist's gadgets, which covers items such as micropipettes, the autoclave and the laminar flow cabinet.

Quality and method checks

The deck Quality Control for clinical chemistry explains what lab QC is, its components and how to judge whether an analytical result is acceptable. Pair it with the Quality Assurance quiz. For method selection and test validation, the week 11 decks are useful, and Week 14: POCT, Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry extends into newer techniques.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Laboratory and Diagnostic Sciences strand of Medicine and health (other or general). Resources come from many contributors, so styles vary and you can mix them freely.

Pick one quiz today, note what you missed, and make your own flashcards from those gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Clinical Labs Test 1- PMU quiz. It covers the basic questions of sample type, anticoagulants and patient preparation. Once those feel familiar, move on to ASCP Chemistry 1-200 for harder chemistry questions, then use the mind maps to organise what you have learned.

What do the mind maps cover?

They range from a Week 1 map on cell biology, homeostasis and acid-base balance to maps on how a cytopathology laboratory is organised, material control, samples received in the lab and emission flame photometry. Some have matching notes created from the map.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so you will find a mix of styles and levels of detail.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates revising laboratory topics, plus teachers who want ready-made material. Quizzes such as ASCP Chemistry 1-200 are aimed at those testing detailed knowledge, while the flashcard decks work well for quick recall of equipment, values and abbreviations.

Is there anything on lab safety and waste?

Yes. The quiz chapter 2- safety & preparedness covers safety, and the note LM 6 - created from Mind Map outlines waste management, including hazardous and non-hazardous laboratory waste. Sample contamination also has its own notes.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try the flashcard decks and notes, which often cover narrower topics such as electrolyte ranges or POCT. If a gap remains, a free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
