Learning outcomes
|
During a two month stay the student will be trained in practical laboratory work in the fields of haematology, microbiology and clinical chemistry.
Special microbiology I - Sowing microbes, evaluating and identifying them. Evaluating antibacterial sensitivity. Identifying parasitological microbes and microscope them with fluorescence microscope. Will be introduced to ELISA. Special clinical chemistry I - Working with analysers. Evaluating and diluting tests that are over the linear limit. Evaluating and following internal quality control. Evaluating interference. Haematology I - Blood smear preparation and microscopy, urine precipitate preparation and microscopy. Making tests with faeces and evaluation of the tests, testing blood clotting and evaluation of the tests and testing reticulocytes.
