  1. Acceptable glass tubes for blood bank testing

    cag589 replied to sgoertzen's topic in Vendor Section

    We use culture tubes from Cardinal Health. SP1290-3 12x75mm

  2. New Previ stainer

    cag589 replied to MARINA's topic in Quality

    I work in Blood Bank and we took over some micro testing when our Micro lab centralized. We found the stainer needed way too much care and feeding. We make nicer looking stains by hand and alot faster too. Maintenace is a nightmare.
  3. If possible, get full phenotype of patient before meds, at least you will know what they are capable of making.
  4. We have been warned! Have not received any patients on this yet.
  5. What is all this INR stuff? We were not taught this 30 years ago. It means nothing to me!
  6. Depends on patient history. First time screen cells, repeat pos offenders get a panel!

  7. COBE Validation
