The lab! |
Here are some pictures that I took in the lab today to give you all an idea of some of the things I do:
Me and the two hematology analyzers. We use these a lot, especially to check people's hemoglobin levels. |
My fellow tech doing some TM (or blood banking as I've been trying to say as no one here knows what TM means). |
Our poor cell washer died. We were hoping the fix-it guys on the ship could do just that. But sadly we need a whole new part. So manual cell washing it is! Yay! (That was sarcasm). |
The four little chemistry analyzers. |
Micro! Its amazing how much one can forget after not doing it for a while. But I'm excited to re-learn some of my micro skills. |
Today's sample volume. Haha, quite a bite less then at home but enough to keep us pretty busy through out the day. A lot of the volume we get is for donor screening so those tubes aren't seen here. |
