MLTK2500 — Clinical Chemistry
MLTK 2500 - Clinical Chemistry MLTK 2500 - Clinical Chemistry (2L, 4LB) This hybrid course introduces the theoretical principles, analytical techniques, and advanced instrumentation used in clinical chemistry, pharmaceutical research, and biotechnology. All lecture content is delivered online, providing students with foundational knowledge of clinical analytes, metabolic pathways, disease mechanisms, and method principles. On-campus laboratory sessions emphasize hands-on operation of chemistry analyzers, manual and automated testing procedures, quality control, calibration, and troubleshooting. Students perform diagnostic analyses and correlate laboratory results with disease states, preventive medicine, and patient management. Additional topics include quality assurance practices, instrumentation concepts, therapeutic drug monitoring, endocrinology, reagent preparation, and interpretation of chemistry panels within a clinical context. This course prepares students for clinical rotation in chemistry and aligns with NAACLS entry-level competencies for MLT graduates. Prerequisites: BIOL 1000 or BIOL 1010
