Learning outcomes
Students are going to familiarize with:
- basic terms used in clinical chemistry;
- principles of methods commonly applied in bioanalysis;
- importance of basic bioanalytical analytes and understand to procedures and methods of determination;
- reading results from bioanalytical laboratory;
- rules and standards related with quality control in bioanalytical laboratory;
Syllabus
  • 1. The aim of clinical chemistry and the position of a clinical analyst. Specificity of biological samples and the influence of biological matrix. The main methods of withdrawal of biological specimens. How to express and interpret an analytical result. Acute/POCT analyses. 2. The selection of an analytical method (general, specific, analytical and clinical features). Primary, reference, recommended and routine methods. Calibration, control and reference materials. Work organization, instruments, analyzers. Preanalytical phase: withdrawal, transport, storage and preparation of laboratory specimens. 3. Quality management in clinical laboratory (intra- and interlaboratory qualiy control, tolerance limits). The importance of a positive evaluation of clinical laboratory. Buffers for clinical chemistry (basic features, compatibility). 4. Basic/vital aminoacids, peptides and proteins and their significance. Methods of their determination. 5. Enzyme analyses: kinetics, temperature, accelerators/retarders, buffers and substrates. Enzyme as a bioanalyte: the measurement of its catalytic concentration/enzymatic substrates. Enzymes as analytical reagents/accelerators for other bioanalytes. 6. Immunochemistry and immunoanalysis: serologic, precipitation and immunodiffusion. Methods with labeled reactants: radionuclides, enzymes, fluorophores, luminophores etc. Competitive/uncompetitive methods, homogeneous/heterogeneous methods. The use of avidin and biotin. 7. Analytical importance of nucleic acids (structure/properties), important NA-sequences. Polymerase chain reaction and its use for diagnostics of patogens in forensic/prenatal diagnostics. 8. Colour properties of molecules. Basic rules: conjugated double-bonds, aromatic/ heterocyclic compounds, substituents and their effect on polarization/ionization of the molecule, planar structure, oxidation/reduction reactions. Examples for the use in clinical chemistry. 9. Basic indicating reactions: coupling, oxidation coupling with peroxide, oxidation of leuco bases. The reactions with coenzymes of NAD/NADP, tetrazolium salts, formazans. 10. Development/production of analytical kits for in vitro diagnostics (requirements, production procedures). 11. Development/perspectives of clinical chemistry: consolidated laboratories, diagnostic centres, method miniaturisation, microchips, bio-probes, laboratory automation. 12. Some selected bioanalytes, their significance/determination: glucose, urea, uric acid, creatinine, bilirubin, cholesterol, triacylglycerols, total protein/albumin, fibrinogen, hemoglobin, chlorides, iron, enzymes (amylase, aminotransferases, acid/alkaline phosphatase, chlinesterase, creatinkinase, GGT), insulin, lipids, prostate specific antigen, gravidity test. The use of PCR for the estimation of TBC And boreliosis. 13. Visit of a clinical laboratory, principles of quality control/management.
