ASCP-MLT Exam Dumps : MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNICIAN - MLT(ASCP)

The personal protective equipment (PPE) that is used in the laboratory to protect the personnel when performing tests on patient blood samples is which of the following:

Microbiology

Matching: The detection of a distinct odor is often helpful in the presumptive identification of bacterial culture isolates. Match each of the odors listed with its corresponding bacterial species name.

1. Streptococcus anginosus (milleri)

2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

3. Eikenella corrodens

4. Alcaligenes faecalis

If your reactions are strong at immediate spin (3+) and then get weaker at AHG (w+), it could mean the presence of a strong cold antibody.

Cold antibodies tend to be IgM and their optimum phase for reactivity is immediate spin. Incubation and washing of the sample may cause the agglutination that occurred at room temperature to break down. This would appear as a weaker reaction at AHG.

If the reaction strengths varied in each panel cell then that could be an indication that there are multiple antibodies present.

Your screen cells are 3+ at immediate spin and weak (W)+ at AHG. Your auto control is negative for both phases. Some of your antibody panel cells are 3+ at immediate spin and negative at AHG. What should you suspect?
