Question

1. the bmp leukochek can be used for:

a. microcollection of blood for culture and sensitivity testing
b. microcollection and dilution of blood samples for the wbc count
c. abo group and type blood collection
d. microcollection of blood for hematocrit

Explanation:

The BMP LeukoChek is a device used in medical diagnostics. It is specifically designed for the microcollection and dilution of blood samples for the white blood cell (WBC) count. This helps in accurately determining the number of WBCs in a sample, which is crucial for assessing the immune system's health.

• Option a: Microcollection of blood for culture and sensitivity testing is not the function of BMP LeukoChek. Culture and sensitivity testing involves different procedures and equipment to identify pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility.
• Option c: ABO group and type blood collection is related to blood typing for transfusion purposes and is done using different methods and reagents, not the BMP LeukoChek.
• Option d: Microcollection of blood for hematocrit (which measures the proportion of red blood cells in the blood) is also a different test with its own collection and measurement techniques, not the BMP LeukoChek.

Answer:

B. microcollection and dilution of blood samples for the WBC count
