  • Semi-automated Prothrombin and Partial Thromboplastin times

Textbooks:
Textbook information can be found on the Book Inn website
Required Materials:
  • In order to participate in lab, students must be wearing floor-length pants, closed-toe, closed heel shoes.

  5. Analyze erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR) and reticulocyte counts.
  6. Evaluate the role of platelets, clotting factors, and blood vessels in Hemostasis.
  7. Evaluate the role of clotting factors in hemostasis.
