Occurs when the quality control results are all distributed on one side of the mean or the other
What is a shift?
Small cell fragments in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding.
What are platelets?
What are ISEs?
This Hematology analyzer delivers accurate, first-analysis results through proprietary VCS technology with fewer slide reviews and high system reliability for maximum uptime.
What is the DxH900?
Beckman Coulter's new digital cell morphology analysis partner with Full-Field Peripheral Blood Smear™ Application and AI-based Decision Support System allows labs to zoom, pan and share high-resolution, digitized samples without having to go back to the manual microscope.
What is Scopio?
A graph that quality control data is plotted on to give a visual indication whether a laboratory test is working well.
What is a Levy-Jennings chart?
In general, the RBC x 3 = Hgb and Hgb x 3 = Hct is known as this.
What is the rule of 3?
A method to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light by measuring the intensity of light as a beam of light passes through sample solution.
What is Spectrophotometry?
A fully automated system streamlines urinalysis workflow by reducing manual review, load-and-go walkaway capability and Edit-Free Release technology
What is the DXU Iris Workcell?
Beckman Coulter's newest immunoassay analyzer with zero daily maintenance, disposable tips to reduce carryover, and a new substrate that reduces all assay run times by 5 or more minutes.
What is the DXI 9000?
A rule set of statistical patterns, each being unlikely to occur by random variability, thereby raising a suspicion of faulty accuracy or precision of the measurement system.
What are Westgard Rules?
This patented principle is described as the detection and measurement of changes in electrical resistance produced by a particle or cell suspended in a conductive liquid traversing through a small aperture.
What is the Coulter principle?
Your results are:
K+ = 13.0 mmol/L
Ca = 2.5 mg/dL
What is EDTA contamination?
This chemistry analyzer meant for high- and ultra high-volume core laboratory is the fastest in the industry, processing up to 2,000 tests per hour with a full menu of assays, including Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and Drugs of Abuse.
What is the AU5800?
In Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), it is an alternative to Serum Creatinine for estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
What is Cystatin C?
A measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean
What is Standard Deviation?
What is an Eosinophil?
A process that is used to demonstrate the suitability of an analytical method for an intended purpose.
What is Method Validation?
An American electrical engineer, inventor, and businessman. The best known of his 85 patents is the Coulter principle, which provides a method for counting and sizing microscopic particles suspended in fluid.
Who was Wallace Coulter?
A proprietary calculation developed by Beckman Coulter that uses a combination of three blood tests to produce a score that provides more information about what elevated PSA levels might mean and the probability of finding prostate cancer on biopsy.
What is Prostate Health Index (PHI)?
A quality control protocol that uses patient results to monitor the performance of an instrument system.
What is a moving average?
Pink or red-stained needle-shaped structures seen in the cytoplasm of myeloid cells
What are Auer Rods?
The emission of photons when chemically excited molecules decay to ground state following a chemical reaction.
In 1934, he invented the pH meter while a professor at the California Institute of Technology.
Who is Dr. Arnold Beckman?
