COMMON LABORATORY SUPPLIES IN THE


CLINICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

Introduction
Clinical Chemistry is a quantitative science that deals with
determining the concentrations of biologically relevant compounds
(known as analytes) in body fluids. These compounds' concentrations
are measured using methods that have been carefully designed to
deliver accurate results.
In the measurement of an analyte’s concentration, a Medical
Laboratory Scientist or Medical Technologist must properly identify the
laboratory instruments, equipment, glasswares, or plasticwares which
are needed in the collection of blood and other body fluids and at the
same time the performance of laboratory procedures.
Complete laboratory materials ensure the orderly collection of
samples and the conduct of laboratory procedures.
