🗑
what size drop of blood is used to make a differtial blood smear   blood the size of a match headEDTA Lavender use within 2 hoursfinger puncture do not touch slide with skin  
🗑
what are the characteristics of a good smear   1)gradual transition from thick to thin end with feathered edge covers 3/4 of slide-2)no waves, holes, clots-3)does not come to abrupt end and does not extend off slide  
🗑
what are 3 main causes a blood smear to be too thick   1)angle too high-more than 45 degree-2)motion too fast-3)drop too large  
🗑
what are 3 main causes a blood smear to be too thin   1)drop too small-2)motion too small-3)angle too low  
🗑
if the blood smears you are making are coming out too thin-how would you correct them   1)more blood-2)increase angle of spreader slide-3)move a little faster  
🗑
what is the composition of wright's stain   alcohol solution-acid dye(eosin-stains reds)-alkaline dye(methylene blue-stains blue)  
🗑
wright's stain is a differental stain which means   causes stains to stain in different colors  
🗑
what is accomplished in the 2 step staining procedure   1)material fixed to slide with wright's stain-2)polychrome staining with addition to buffer  
🗑
what controls the acid-base balance the stain   1)low-too red-2)high-too blue-3)ph of the phosate buffer (ph6.4-6.8)  
🗑
quick stain   the stain contains the buffer one step not 2  
🗑
if the blood smears do not stain well what should you check   1)ph of stain buffer wash water-2)timing  
🗑
what tests are included in a complete CBC   rbc,wbc,platelets
