The
Marias Medical Center laboratory has two and a half full time technologists
providing 24/7, 365 days a year service.
The
laboratory is a full service lab performing testing in bacteriology, urology,
chemistry, hematology, serology and blood banking. The chemistry department uses
a Dimension Expand as their main analyzer and a Nova 16 as backup. All analyzers
are interfaced to a Fletcher Flora Lab Pak II Laboratory Information System. In
hematology the workhorse is a CELL-DYNE 3200. An Amelung KCIA instrument is used
for coagulation and a mini-ves for ESR’s round out our automation. In blood
banking, we mix manual methods with a Sorvall cell-washer 2. Fisher Scientific
blood bank and freezer recorder and alarm system are in place. A Fisher
Scientific dry water bath is utilized in blood banking. We also use a Class II
Biological safety cabinet, and in bacteriology, a manual micro-scan product is
used for identification of gram positive and gram negative organisms as well as
for MIC’s.
