    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
