CLT 207L - Clinical Chemistry & Serology Lab
Designed to cover principles, analytical methods, and clinical significance of clinical chemistry as performed in the medical laboratory, including theoretical principles of serological and molecular methodologies. The physiochemical relationships of body function in health and disease including the renal, liver, digestive, and respiratory systems. Emphasis on those clinical tests which evaluate the function of these systems related to metabolism, protein synthesis, pH, blood gases, electrolyte balance, enzymes, and hormones. Requires hands-on experience in affiliated laboratories.

Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Follow proper safety guidelines in the laboratory at all times.
- Evaluate and prepare specimens for analytic integrity recognizing interfering substances.
- Evaluate quality control data to determine acceptability or rejection based on multirule protocols.
- Observe procedures for instrument maintenance and record keeping.
- Explain analytical and immunological testing principles and correlate to instrumental analysis.
- Perform basic and advanced clinical chemistry, serological and immunological techniques and related calculations.
- Recognize appropriate corrective actions when erroneous test results occur due to pre-analytical or analytical variables.
- Correlate clinical chemistry data with normal and abnormal physiological states and identify the clinical significance of test results.
