Slide to the Right
This Catalyst item is used with whole blood and has a fill volume of 0.6 to 0.8 mL.
What is a Lithium Heparin Whole Blood Separator?
The first thing you should do after you put whole blood into a LTT.
What is invert 10 times?
These are the numbers of drops of whole blood and conjugate when preparing a SNAP test.
What is 3 drops of blood and 4 drops of conjugate?
This sample interference occurs when RBCs rupture.
What is hemolysis?
This test is specific to cardiac disease - specifically stretch and strain on the heart muscle.
What is proBNP (NT-proBNP)
The slide load order into the sample drawer for Chem18, TT4, and LYTE4?
What is LYTE4, then Chem18, then TT4?
This anticoagulant is commonly used in LTTs.
What is EDTA?
This is the minimum amount of time that a refrigerated SNAP test and conjugate should come to room temperature prior to using.
What is 30 minutes?
This sample interference appears milky/cloudy.
What is lipemia?
This test is proven to identify early kidney disease and imparied GFR and is also known as symmetric dimethylarginine.
What is SDMA?
The minimum clot time for a serum separator tube.
What is 20 minutes?
These are the 3 parts of a CBC.
What is RBCs, WBCs, and PLTs?
The maximum amount of time that a SNAP test can be used once the pouch has been opened.
What is two hours?
This specific interference leads to low PLT counts and PLT aggregates.
What is clumping?
This diagnostic test is for monitoring diabetic control over the previous several weeks.
What is Fructosamine?
This is how long an opened LYTE4 clip is good for.
What is two minutes?
These are the three parts to a complete hematology evaluation.
What is numerical results, Dot Plots, and blood morphology?
SNAP tests are designed to detect the presence of these two proteins to create either a negative or positive result, using ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technology.
What are antigens (proteins from the virus/parasite) and antibodies (proteins from the patient's immune system in response to an infection)?
What is RTT/SST, then GTT, then LTT?
This Reference Lab test may help identify infectious organisms by detecting their DNA or RNA rather than antibodies.
What is PCR?
This type of technology is used to make our Chemistry slides.
What is dry-slide technology?
This indicator on your in-house ProCyte result is letting you know that it did it's best to provide a numerical result, but you need to doublecheck the value with either blood morphology or Dot Plot review.
What is an *?
How you obtain a sample for a SNAP Parvo or SNAP Giardia test.
What is rolling fecal matter evenly onto the swab from either a provided stool sample, fecal loop, or unlubed gloved finger.
*NOT DIRECTLY FROM THE PATIENT*
This debris can sometimes can occur on a SNAP test if the SNAP Pro has not been cleaned recently.
What is dried blood debris?
This test is commonly used for patients with proteinurina.
What is a UPC?
