Diagnostic medical sonographers and cardiovascular technologists and technicians, including vascular technologists, also called diagnostic imaging workers, operate special imaging equipment to create images or conduct tests.
Microbiology includes the study of both bacteria and viruses. Many tests in microbiology have been traditionally manual procedures. While some tests such as a rapid Strep or influenza screen can be done in 15-20 minutes, some cultures may take several days or even weeks depending on how fast the organisms grow.his section is also highly automated. The tests performed include hemoglobin, white blood cell counts, red blood cell counts, and white cell differentials, which tell the medical provider what types of white cells, are present in the patientâs blood.
Micropipettes are routinely used in biology and chemistry labs to transfer small volumes of liquids. Other instruments can also be used to measure liquids in the lab, but the micropipette is best to transfer very small quantities such as .001 mL (one microliter or 1 L.) You will save time and energy as well as gain confidence by completing the exercises that follow before you come into lab.
