AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Aim of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the problems, techniques and interpretation of results related to clinical analyses. After having examined crucial aspects related to the collection and sampling phases and to the conservation and storage of biological samples before analysis, the most important analytical techniques will be reviewed (UV/VIS for the determination of concentrations and activities, turbidimetric and nephelometric methods for the determination of specific proteins, immunometrics). Finally, some aspects relating to the quality of the data obtained and their interpretation will be dealt with (quantities and units of measurement in clinical chemistry, reference materials, internal and external analytical quality control, analytical characteristics of the methods, definition of the normal ranges and their meaning).
