Study Notes
Clinical Samples for Laboratory Examination
- Various clinical samples can be examined in the laboratory, including blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, tissues, and swab samples.
Ideal Transport Timings for Specimens
- Timely transportation of specimens to the laboratory is crucial, ideally within 1-2 hours for optimal results.
Sources of Microbes for Specimen Collection
- Common sources of microbes for specimen collection include skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and wounds.
Sampling Devices for Specimen Collection
- Examples of sampling devices used for removing specimens include swabs, needles, syringes, and biopsy forceps.
Purpose of Transport Media
- Transport media are designed to maintain the viability of microorganisms during transportation, preventing contamination and degradation of the specimen.
