This book discusses urinalysis in clinical laboratory practice, including a historical overview, methods, future endeavours.
Aspects of a safety program addressed in this guideline include maintenance and inspection, personal safety, and warning signs and labels. In addition, the guideline addresses fire prevention, electrical and radiation safety, and other potential laboratory hazards. Special considerations for...
This guideline is intended to provide information to clinical laboratories about the safe handling and disposal of hazardous wastes. It provides a brief summary of the relevant US federal regulations and laws related to laboratory waste management including chemical,...
This document was written by experienced molecular laboratory professionals to provide an introduction to molecular diagnostics for nonmolecular, routine clinical laboratories, as well as a framework for decision making and implementation of molecular testing. The target...
1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for negative temperature coefficient thermistor-type sensors intended to be used for clinical laboratory temperature measurements or control, or both, within the range from -10 to 105 °C. 1.2 This specification also covers the...
Extensively updated and expanded since the publication of Walter F. Loeb and Fred W. Quimby's second edition in 1999, the new The Clinical Chemistry of Laboratory Animals, Third Edition continues as the most comprehensive reference on in vivo animal studies. By organizing the book...
1. Scope 1.1 This specification covers the construction of elected laboratory procedure and analyte names, because data concerning clinical laboratory tests must identify these procedures in a common fashion if such data are to be transferable between databases or to be...
The purpose of this document is to help clinical laboratories use proficiency testing (PT) as a quality improvement tool. 15-20 This guideline delineates a systematic approach to monitoring PT results, and to investigating and responding to unacceptable PT results, including a...
This document provides guidelines for the evaluation and verification of detection capability claims of clinical laboratory measurement procedures (ie, limit of blank [LoB], limit of detection [LoD], and limit of quantitation [LoQ]), as well as for their proper use, documentation, and...
Hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia/turbidity (HIL) indices are often measured on serum and plasma, to assess sample quality. This document offers consensus guidelines for the use of automated HIL indices by laboratories, as an aid to annotating potentially affected results as well as the...
This document addresses fluorescence in situ hybridization methods for medical genetic determinations, identification of chromosomal abnormalities, and gene amplification. Recommendations for probe and assay development, manufacture, qualification, verification, and validation; instrument...
This practice describes a system for collecting data, maintaining records, and reporting on the reliability of operating clinical laboratory computer systems. The reliability measure will be achieved by documenting the number, severity, cause, impact, and duration of the failures that...
