3.00 Credits
Diagnostic Chemistry I includes theory and analysis of chemical constituents of the blood. The course includes detailed theory, testing methodologies, reference ranges, clinical significance, and laboratory analysis of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and liver function tests. A laboratory information system and quality control procedures are utilized. Enzyme tests used for the diagnosis of cardiac, liver, bone and analytical methods are studied in depth. This course introduces the MLT student to various methods of analysis used in clinical chemistry laboratories to assist in diagnosing, monitoring treatment, and preventing disease. This course is a prerequisite for MELT2609. Prerequisite: BIOL1417 and BIOL1419 or BIOL1415 and CHEM1405. Corequisite: MELT1602.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the learner to basic techniques in performing and interpreting tests of blood group serology. The ABO and Rh systems are studied in detail with an emphasis on accurate grouping and typing. Other topics covered include Antibody screening tests and Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn. This course is the first of two classes that prepares a learner to work in a transfusion laboratory/ department. Corequisite: MELT1602.

3.00 Credits
This course is a basic course in medical diagnostic microbiology, with greater emphasis on bacteriology. The microorganisms most frequently isolated in the clinical laboratory are studied along with the methods used in their identification. Susceptibility testing and anaerobes are also included. Lab experience is emphasized. Human pathogens other than bacterial are introduced, such as viral and fungal. This course is restricted to Medical Laboratory Technician students. Prerequisites: BIOL1415 is highly recommended.
-
2.00 Credits
This course has three components including parasitology, the culture and work-up of clinical specimens, and microorganisms other than bacterial. The course enhances the MLT student's lab experience by providing an in-depth study of the interpretation and reporting of microbiology cultures on clinical specimens. Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Rickettsia, viruses and fungi are also studied. Prerequisite: MELT1625.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of MELT1620 and includes instruction regarding safe blood component therapy and hemolytic disease of the newborn. Topics include other blood group systems, donation, blood components, hemolytic disease of the newborn, and transfusion practices. Other common group systems are recognized. Antibody screening and identification are also performed. This course is the second of two classes that prepares a learner to work in a transfusion laboratory/department. Prerequisite: MELT1620.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts of humoral and cell mediated immunity are taught in this course. The role and pathways of complement are discussed and diagrammed. Types of antigen-antibody reactions are studied including agglutination, precipitation, and labeled immunoassays. Lab procedures include the use and interpretation of commercial serology test kits. Also, serial dilutions are made and interpreted. Immune disorders including hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, transplantation, and tumor immunology are studied in detail. The serological diagnosis of infectious diseases such as spirochetes, streptococcal, viral infections, and HIV are discussed. Prerequisite: MELT1602.
-
1.00 Credits
This course includes the study of renal and metabolic disorders that produce abnormalities in the urine. The analysis of miscellaneous body fluids is then studied, including serous, synovial, amniotic, sweat, spinal, seminal fluid, and fecal material. Prerequisite: MELT1614.
-
2.00 Credits
Diagnostic Chemistry includes theory and analysis of chemical constituents of the blood. The course includes detailed theory, testing methodologies, reference ranges, clinical significance, and laboratory analysis of non-protein nitrogen, electrolytes, minerals and acid/base. A laboratory information system and quality control procedures are utilized. Additional units of study include therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, endocrinology, and tumor markers. This course will expose the MLT student to various methods of analysis used in clinical chemistry laboratories to assist in diagnosing, monitoring treatment, and preventing disease. This course is a prerequisite for MELT2702. Prerequisite: MELT1617.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an advanced hematology course. Major hematological disorders with identification of typical findings on the blood smears are emphasized. The anemias and leukemias are studied in detail; cytochemical stains are introduced. It also includes a study of the blood coagulation process, its theory and practical application. Prerequisite: MELT1608.
-
2.00 Credits
This course allows the learner to balance knowledge and theory of phlebotomy with practical experience at a clinic and/or hospital under the direct supervision of a medical laboratory technician or technologist. Emphasis is on roles and responsibilities along with communication and safety needed in providing quality care. Routine venipuncture and capillary sampling techniques are performed according to NCCLS standards. Prerequisite: MELT1602 and MELT1606.
