    They can't all be hard.  :)

    Also, as a reminder, I could really use help with new questions, I have a very small reserve.

    Hi Cliff. I applogize for the delay in response. What kind of questions do you prefer? Like , blood bank, chemistry?

    In order to qualify for the SBB certification through route 1, you need to have completed a program that is accredited by CAAHEP. This means that the program meets certain standards of quality. If you're interested in learning more about CAAHEP, you can check out this article  on what CAAHEP is and why it matters: What is CAAHEP?

     

    Route 1, that is how I got my SBB. I went to Rush University in Chicago.

    How does one develop Antibody ID samples for training purposes?

    Our blood bank do not do titers. We send those out to a reference lab. We only do screens and AB ID's. Usually, we use our Anti-sera for training, for screens and ID's. We also have a few patients with very interesting samples(multiple Allos, Weak D, DARA, Anti-Ku, etc...), we save those and use them for training too.

    My old lab used to do something similar! Just a dummy slide with the probe wedged in the well and putty sealing around the opening. 

    For those wondering if a thermometer will fit -- there are some that do, and the wiring threads out under the cover using a small notch :lol:

    Wow. Nice. I think if Ortho required people to have one of those, it would have been supplied with the workstation, instead of people just rigging something up.

    My lab has been dealing with a broken micro-capillary reader for too long, and I've been looking at trying to find a replacement/alternative that isn't found on eBay.

    We currently have the beloved wheel and centrifuge combo by Damon/IEC Division, but they unfortunately stopped manufacturing these.

    What does your lab currently use?

    We stopped using a crit reader. We now have a hemoglobin reader. It's electronic. Ours is the Hemocue 201 model.

    How are you documenting temperature of headblock in new combo system?  

    green light ?

    We do the same as Ren_Hh , we put a check mark on the daily temperature log. The tech support people assured us that the green light means the system is within acceptable temperature(approx. 36 to 38 C) range. Besides, good luck trying to find a thermometer small enough to fit into those heating blocks/wells with the cover closed too.
