Analysis and methods
Clinical Laboratory
is a place designed with equipments, chemicals and supplies to perform tests on patient samples such
as blood, body fluids, urine, and feces and must be licensed to operate.

2. Chromatography
LC-MS/MS chromatogram of a whole blood sample fortified with the analytes –
determination of fentanyl content
Major analytical methods
2. Chromatography
ion exchange column
protein separation based on net charge of the
protein.
Affinity chromatography
many proteins has affinity for specific chemical groups. For
example, the plant protein concanavalin A is a carbohydratebinding protein that has affinity for glucose.
Major analytical methods
3. Electrophoresis
• If a sample of protein is placed between two electrodes, positively
charged ions will move towards a negatively charged electrode.
Negatively charged ions will move towards a positively charged
electrode
• The rate depends on the size and charge on the ions: larger ions will
move more slowly; highly charged ions will move more quickly.
Therefore the ions are separated as the electric field is applied.

4. Immunoassay
direct ELISA
indirect ELISA
is used to detect the presence of
antibody e.g: HIV)
antibody must bind specifically to 2
things
sandwich ELISA
is used to detect antigen rather than
antibody.

Summary
Learning goal:
understand the methods of analysis in biochemistry in the setting of research and clinical lab, including:
• diseases and relevant diagnosis methods
• sampling and handling
• relevant instruments and their working principles
• how to compare result with reference parameters
available working position: clinical technicians, biochemical lab researcher,
clinical instrument sales, supplies and instruments purchasing
open questions: compare the task of clinical chemist vs pharmaceutical chemist? what is the transferrable skills?
