Quantitative Analysis: Applications in Clinical Chemistry

Explore the principles, techniques and instrumentation involved in quantitative analysis, with special emphasis on clinical applications. Learn the basic physiology, analytical procedures and clinical (normal and disease state) correlations to systems such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, enzymes, nonprotein nitrogen, acid-base metabolism, hormones, vitamins, electrolytes, body fluids and others. Study organ system function (normal and abnormal) and associated laboratory testing methods. Learn proper laboratory safety and regulations, statistical methods, and quality assurance and management. This course is especially useful for students looking to transition into a career in the clinical laboratory setting or other health-related fields.
