Pasquinelli (diagnostics and laboratory techniques)
Burlina (laboratory medicine)

The module aims to allow the learning of the various methods of analysis, to interpret the instrumental calibration curves, and the articulation of the laboratory diagnostic process from pre to post-analytical. quality control assessment on highly automated platforms. The impact of the unsuitable sample on the final result. Management and use of POCT analytical systems. Application of clinical risk in the laboratory

The student must be aware of the mechanisms and the role of automation in the analytical phase from the work-cell to Total lab Automation.
Ability to evaluate interference in an unsuitable sample. Introduction to POINT OF CARE TESTING analysis systems

Printouts of calibration curves of various automatic instruments.
Printouts of reports
Clinical Risk Management Reports

The exam consists of an oral test on the topics covered in class and the interpretation of an instrumental curve, comparison of sample reports that have interference with normal samples
