Pick whichever you feel the most comfortable with!
For this week, you will be researching one of the following methodologies: the use of chemiluminessence in detecting hepatitis; DNA amplification in N. gonorrhoeae; using HPLC in the determination of HgbA1C,; the use of mass spectrometry in clinical toxicology; and the use of Maldi-tof mass spectrometry in clinical microbiology for identification of organisms.
You will provide a 2 page report describing the principal of the method, the type of specimen used, the reliability of the method, and you will name other tests that use this method. You will also compare it with the previously used method, and you will briefly describe how this method of detection is better than the previous method in terms of cost, time involved in sample preparation, test run time, and accuracy and precision.
You will briefly discuss your findings on the message board and also state whether or not you have any any experience with any of these test methods.
In your research, feel free to use the data provided by the manufacturer and use the Pubmed search engine as well. This exercise will provide a more in-depth view of new technologies in the lab.
1 Select one of the advanced analytical techniques: chemiluminessence in detecting hepatitis, DNA amplification in N. gonorrhoaeae, HPLC in the determination of HgbA1C, mass spectrometry in clinical toxicology, and Maldi-tof mass spectrometry in clinical microbiology to research and summarize.
2 Submit a 2-page report which meets the criteria required.
3 Describe the principal of the method.
4 Describe the type of specimen required.
5 The reliability of the method (Please give numerical (Statistical evidence) evidence with intext citation – The instructor is very picky about this part!
6 Name other tests that use the method.
7 Discuss how this method is better than the previous one in terms of cost, time involved in sample preparation, test run time, accuracy, and precision.
8 Discuss your findings briefly on the message board.
9 State whether or not you have any experience with any of these methods.
10 Please follow the APA template I have provided for you.
