BMLT Full Form

Image
BMLT Full Form : Friends, after 12th, the dream of many students is to become a medical lab technician by doing BMLT course. In such a situation, the question comes here that what is the full form of BMLT. Must have qualification for this course. How to get admission in this course. What is its fee? I will give this information along with the full form. BMLT Full Form  The full form of BMLT is Bachelor in Medical Laboratory Technology.  This is a paramedical course in medical science. Some people also call it a medical course. But in reality it is not a medical course but a paramedical course. It is definitely a matter of course that this is a course related to medicine. Because of this people also call it medical course.  The duration of BMLT course is 3 years. In some universities, this course is conducted year-wise and in some universities, it is conducted on a semester-wise basis. There are total 6 semesters in this. This is an undergraduate paramedical c...

Introduction of Enzyme , enzyme as catalysts, Functional enzymes and non-functional Enzyme

Image
INTRODUCTION OF ENZYME Enzymes are synthesized by the cells of all living organisms. They act like catalysts and accelerate the multitude of metabolic reactions upon which life depends. Without exception, all enzymes are proteins and their catalytic activity depends on the presence of a precise conformational structure in the folded polypeptide chains. Even minor alterations in this structure may result in the loss of activity. Enzymes act on specific substrates. Substrate is a substance on which an enzyme acts and a specific end product/s is/are produced. For example, when amylase (enzyme) acts on starch (substrate) the end products produced are maltose and dextrins. Without enzymes life would not be possible. As the biocatalysts, enzymes occupy central role in health and disease. In health, all physiologic processes occur in an ordered, regulated manner mainly due to the catalytic functions of enzymes, which coordinate numerous metabolic reactions inside the cells. Enzymes play very ...

Carbohydrates definition and important functions Digestion of Carbohydrates

Image
Contents [ hide ] CARBOHYDRATES DEFINITION Carbohydrates are defined as the aldehydic or ketonic derivatives of higher polyhydroxy alcohol or anhydrides of such derivatives. IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS Humans and all animals except carnivorous derive the major portion of their food calories from the various types of carbohydrates in their diets. Most of the energy for the metabolic activities of the cell in all organisms is derived from the oxidation of carbohydrates (in the form of glucose). In the storage organs of plants (in the form of starch) and in the liver and muscles of animals (in the form of glycogen), they are important food reserve. They also serve as an important component of skeletal structures in plants (in the form of cellulose) and that of outer structure of microorganisms. Classification of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides These consist of single polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone unit which cannot be broken down to simpler substances on hydrolysis. Monosaccharides containing...

Introduction of laboratory Glassware, Care and Maintenance

Contents [ hide ]  INTRODUCTION of Glassware Glassware used in each section of the laboratory is highlys pecific and expensive. It is necessary to handle glassware carefully to avoid accidents in the laboratory. Clinical laboratory procedures require accurate determinations to measure specific analytes in the various types of specimen. For accurate laboratory work standardized and validated glassware is used. COMPOSITION OF GLASSWARE Laboratory glassware is usually manufactured from borosilicate glass. It is resistant to the action of chemicals with the exception of hydrofluoric acid. It is made to withstand mechanical breakage and a sudden change of temperature. The main ingredients of borosilicate glasS are as follows General Glassware Beakers  These have capacities from 5 ml to 5000 ml (5l). They are generally in a square form, which is cylindrical and has a spout. These are used mainly for the preparation of solutions. Flasks  These have capacities of 25 ml-5000...

The Complete Guide to Colorimetry

Image
Introduction: What is Colorimetry and How Does it Work? In clinical practice it is important to know the concentration of certain compounds is biological samples. Colorimetry is the most windly used technique for quantitative analysis of such compounds. In colorimetric technique the concentration of compounds is determined by measuring the intensity of colour the intensity of colour is propotioned to the concentration of the compound being measured. However many compound of clinical important present in body fluid such as sugar proteins area creatinine etc are not coloured these compounds conform colour complexes by specific chemical reaction and the colour intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of the compound undergoing chemical reaction. The relationship between concentration and colour intensity give by Beer's low and Lambert's Low. Beer's low :-  When monochromatic light passed through a light absorbing medium the intensity of the transmitted light dec...

Laboratory management system, responsibility of lab workers and professional ethics of lab

Image
 Laboratory Responsibilities of the lab works. 1. The lab workers plays an important role to find out the cause of disease by providing the phygicion the required lab test result. 2. The laboratory workers thus helps the patient to get better by providing accurate test finding to the phygicions. 3. The laboratory worker should not offer personal excuses for short coming in the performance of duty. 4. Any error should be reported to the superior without fear, So that they can be corrected. 5. Trust must always be told because a wrong result may lead to patient death. 6. The laboratory technician should look after all equipment carefully and should try to needed for each test. It is necessary to keep the reagent bottles, glassware other laboratory requirement appropriate places after its use. 7. In the course of laboratory testing the laboratory workers gains a lot of information about patient of their illness. Every laboratory worker must maintain high moral to professional standard...

 Collection of Specimen Introduction The specimen which are investigated for various biochemistry analysis or diagnosis of disease to monitor treatment or for research purpose they are- Blood  CFS ( Cerebrospinal Fluid ) Gastric juice  Calculi Pleural Fluid Urine Saliva Sweat Pericardial fluid Sputum Stool For the successful isolation of any pathogen or determination of any particular biomarker in a sample following things are dependent - Types of specimen  Collection time Method of dispatch so the laboratory storage  Aseptic flandling Specimen Collection  Specimen should be collected under aseptic conditions It is necessary to avoid contamination discharge with skin contact. Specimen should be collected in dry spoil containers. Specimen must be clearly labelled with Patient name  Date  Time  Word 5. Each specimen should be collected according to requirement for the investigation. 6. Some Specimen are labelled with high risk and must be with ...
