Supercooling
the process of lowering the temperature of a liquid or a gas below its freezing point without it becoming a solid.
test Q#4 I may have copied down wrong : analytical error indicates what when it goes in which direction systemic error influences observations constantly in one direction (higher or lower) , by measuring slope and y intercept you can estimate systemic error RANDOM ANALYTICAL ERR
Random error: Error varies from sample to sample.Causes include instrument instability, temperature variations, reagent variation, handling techniques, and operator variables.
. Random error is present in all measurements and can be either positive or negative. Random error is calculated as the SD of the points about the regression line (Sy/x). Sy/x essentially refers to average distance of the data from the regression line (Fig. 4-7). The higher the Sy/x, the wider is the scatter and
Define Specificity
proportion without disease who test negative/ruling out disease. Ability of analytic method to quantitate one analyte in the presence of others in a mixture like sruem
sensitivity proportion of patients with disease who test positive for a test of the disorder seNsitivity the N means start with Positives
Efficiency
how good a test is at detection and predicting the presence of disease or physiologic condition Accuracy closest to actual value Predictability the predictive value of a test can be expressed as a function of sensitivity, specificity and disease prevalence PPV all the positives NPV all negatives Nonparametric methods of normal range determination Parametric tests Gaussian data Nonparametric analysis is used to analyze data that is abnormal distribution, like a skewed population data for interval studies. Analyze wih percentages Normal distribution contains 68% within 1 SD 95% within 2 SD 99% within 3 SD

FPIA fluid phase antigen antibody complexes ,homogeneous immunoassay uzes polarized light to excite the fluorescent label. quantitation Ag-Ab complexes by using tubidimetry(light transmitted) and nephelometry(light scattered) to measure the way it interacts with light antigen and antibody EPITOPE the antigenic determinant on the Ag, the antigenic site to which an F(ab) can bind antigen antibody comples and increased affinity stronger the affinity and avidity the greater possibility of cross-reactivity competitive inhibition enzyme reaction is what?
Define EIA
enzyme immunoassay uses enzyme bound antibody to detect angtigen, substrate produces colorogenic reaction Why is chemiluminescence better The detection limits are very small , up to 1 zmol and its specificity is the alkaline phosphatase is the most sensitive chemiluminescent assay Why are EMIT assays different? Think preparation, dont have to separate first, skip a whole step.Its unique feature is the ability to detect this binding without resorting to a cumbersome separation of the bound component. This is accomplished by including in the mixture of antibodies and sample an
enzyme that is attached to the drug. Antibodies that do not become bound to drug in the sample bind instead to this enzyme-drug "conjugate". The conjugate is designed in such a way that when antibodies bind to its drug portion, the enzyme is deactivated. The more drug there is in the sample, the more of the antibody is bound to it and less is available to deactivate the conjugate. If an enzyme substrate is present that is converted to a colored or fluorescent product, the presence of drug will inhibit the formation of the detectible product to a degree related to the concentration of the drug.
Define southern blot western and northern Southern DNA extracted from sample, enzymatically digested, separation by electrophoresis, denatured, transferred to a membrane, and finally probed to produce a band. Northern same as southern but RNA instead of DNA Western protein separation ELISA direct and indirect tesing for antigen or antibody. Specificity confirmed with Western blot protein separation technique to isolate specific protein you are looking for Western blot technique used to detect antibodies to specific epitopes of electrophoretically separated substrates of antigens. A technique where electrophoresis of antigenic material yields separation of the antigenic components by molecular weight. Blotting the separated antigen to nitrocellulose retains the electrophoretic position and will have a reaction with specific antibodies, if present, in the different antigenic bands. EIA reactions then detects the antibodies that have been bound to the antigens on the nitrocellulose membrane, the EIA reaction characterizes the antibody specificity. This is done to confirm specificity of antibodies detected by ELISA EMIT capture method . detects very small concentrations of antigen with multiple epitopes, no separation step Common polymorphisms seen in genes SNP single nucleiotide polymorphisms PCR steps 6

Why is POCT difficult to immpliment in hopspitals primary difficulties in the implementation of POCT in a health care facility is instilling the importance of quality control in nonlaboratorians performing POCT! Ionized calcium tests for POCT different why? My notes say are for a different government agency What regulations does POCT have to comply with (check?) CLIA regulation , need ClIA licence to level of complexicity Proficiency testing of POCt is why? Think errors in kits Monitor quality control, competency of personnel, correct patient identification(barcoded), instrument maintenance. So many users and meters, software used to control quality control, use lock out method. What is included in the written procedures for the test systems? Eg critical patient values, procedure, reagents , equipment, interferances What are waived test in lab and what do they include hematocrit Where can POCT be used At bedside, physician offices, at home fingerstick, lab Part2 Ch 10,11,12 Electrophoresis patterns and commonalities

Osmotic force plasma proteins function in the distribution of water throughout the compartments of the body. Their colloid osmotic force, due to their size, does not allow protein to cross the capillary membranes. As a result, water is absorbed from the tissue into the venous portion of the capillary. When the concentration of plasma proteins is significantly decreased, the concomitant decrease in the plasma colloidal osmotic (oncotic) pressure results in increased levels of interstitial fluid and edema. This is often seen in renal disease when proteinuria results in a decreased plasma protein concentration and swelling of the hands and feet.
