Avoiding common pitfalls in laboratory testing for providers and laboratorians
január 26, 2023
This webinar is a case-based presentation, and will describe the most common pitfalls in laboratory testing and how to mitigate their effects. This is a Labroots webinar, sponsored by Radiometer.
About this webinar
Cases presented will cover problems that can arise in the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases of testing. This includes sample collection, transportation, and processing, effect of interferences on choice of analytical testing platforms, and the importance of using assay-specific pediatric reference intervals.
Tests discussed will primarily include common chemistry tests like:
- Potassium
- Bicarbonate
- Creatinine
- Sodium
- Glucose
- Calcium
- ALP
Attendees will be provided with practical ways to detect these issues (for providers), and how to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence (for laboratorians).
