Photosensitive samples: Samples that are sensitive to light exposure and must be protected from light to prevent alteration of their properties during transport.
Incidence recording during transport: The documentation of any transport incidents or mishandling events that could compromise sample integrity.
Use of dry ice in sample transport: Employing solid carbon dioxide to maintain low temperatures; proper labeling on the container is required to indicate the presence of dry ice.
Primary container horizontal positioning: The practice of transporting the primary sample container in a horizontal orientation to minimize agitation and prevent sample disturbance.
Nitrogen liquid transport requirements: Specific conditions for transporting samples in liquid nitrogen, which are not detailed here but imply the need for proper containment and handling protocols.
1. Which practice is essential for maintaining the integrity of photosensitive samples during transport?
2. What is the effect of incomplete blood coagulation prior to centrifugation?
3. Which of the following practices can help prevent hemolysis during blood sample collection and handling?
Photosensitive samples — protection?
Must be shielded from light during transport.
Transport incident recording — purpose?
Ensures traceability and quality control.
Dry ice transport — labeling?
Container must be labeled to indicate dry ice presence.
Primary container — position during transport?
Transported horizontally to minimize agitation.
Nitrogen liquid samples — handling?
Require proper containment and handling protocols.
Blood coagulation — before centrifugation?
Complete coagulation prevents fibrin contamination.
