Select the best course of action to remedy blood films that typically are too thick from newborns. Increase the spreader slide angle. Use a larger drop. Dilute the blood with saline. Decrease the spreader slide angle.

Step 1
Step 1: Identify the problem – blood films from newborns are typically too thick, which means the smear is not spreading out enough to allow proper examination of cells. Show more…

Select all of the following corrections that could improve interpretation of this result? Fig: 4 Add more safranin counterstain and let it sit for longer on the smear. Adjust the fine focus to bring the image into focus. View the stained sample at a higher magnification. Dilute the smear so it is less dense. Lengthen the time for heat fixation of the smear.

Give the different methods that are available for counting bacteria in a suspension. In the preparation of bacterial smear for Wright's staining, what is the relationship of the angle of the spreader slide to the thickness of the smear? Give the different methods of sterilizing bacteria. When is sterility testing for bacteria done? What agents may be used to prevent clotting of blood? If blood is to be stored in the refrigerator for as long as 10 weeks, what should be done to preserve it? What is more isotonic with the red blood cells: 0.9% sodium chloride or 0.85% sodium chloride? In the preparation of protein solution for inoculation into the laboratory animals, why is it that in the dissolution of protein, stirring is preferable to shaking? In the production of Forssman antisera, what tissue is utilized? Give an example of a vaccine in which aluminum hydroxide is used as an adjuvant. In the preparation of oil-water emulsion, what other methods may be used for mixing aside from repeated aspiration from a syringe?

Why do you hold the pipet in a nearly horizontal position during dilution? What are the factors that may affect the accuracy of dilutions made with blood diluting pipets? List down the expected errors that can be encountered in the blood dilution method. What is the dilution factor if the blood is sucked to 0.4 mark of RBC pipet?
