Introduction
This many microliters are in 1 liter.
What is 1x10^6 or 1,000,000?
Energy of a lightwave has this type of relationship with its wavelength.
What is inverse?
Serine is classified as this type of amino acid.
What is polar?
These are the reference ranges for serum albumin and total protein.
This type of proteinuria can come from cystitis.
What is post-renal proteinuria?
Quality control is part of this phase of clinical laboratory testing.
What is analytical?
This type of monochromator can give you multiple different wavelengths in your spectrophotometer.
What is a diffraction grating?
Amino acids form zwitterions in solution. A term that describes this property with respect to acids and bases is this.
What is amphoteric?
This is very common condition that can result in both hyperalbuminemia and hyperproteinemia.
What is dehydration?
This is one of two dyes that can be used to measure urine protien concentration.
What is coomassie bue/pyrogallol red?
This is the lowest concentration of an analyte that can be reliably distinguished from zero.
What is the limit of detection?
This is the range of wavelengths transmitted by the monochromator with at least 50% of the transmittance of the nominal wavelength.
What is bandpass?
Peptide bonds form between these two functional groups.
What are amino groups and carboxyl groups?
This is a malignancy that can result in normal to low levels of albumin and very high levels of total protein.
What is multiple myeloma?
THis type of bacterial infection leads to high levels of protein in the CSF.
What is meningitis?
This process is known as establishing the mathematical relationship between a signal your are measuring and a concentration of an analyte.
What is calibration?
This type of spectrophotometric design is used to minimize fluctuations in the light source on absorbance readings.
These types of bonds stabilize alpha helices.
What are hydrogen bonds?
High levels of bilirubin or drugs in a patients serum can cause this type of erroneous reading for a BCG or BCP reagent system.
What is falsely decreased?
This condition leads to an increased protein level in CSF due to intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins.
What is multiple sclerosis?
Correlation of test results with other patient information is part of this phase of clinical laboratory testing.
What is post analytical?
This type of photodetector is the most sensitive to very low levels of light.
What is a photomultiplier tube?
This level of protein structure is not lost when a protein is denatured.
What is primary structure?
Prolonged tourniquet application before blood collection can lead to these two conditions.
What is hyperproteinemia and hyperalbuminemia?
These are two disadvantages to using turbidimetric methods over dye binding methods for measuring CSF protein.
What are more limited photometric linearity and more interference from drugs and drug metabolites?
