Course content

The principle, process, evaluation of results, and quality management. Chemical and enzymatic reaction principles, measuring methods including spectrophotometry, emission of light, electrochemistry, chromatography, and electrophoresis, calibration of measuring methods, preanalytical, analytical and biological variables. Nuclear medicine focused on radiation physics, nuclear medicine measurement methods and radiation protection.

Learning outcome

After attending the course, the student can:

  • Explain quantitative methods commonly used in medical laboratories.
  • Use a range of methods and analytical instruments commonly used in medical laboratories and understand how the instruments work.
  • Explain the impact of preanalytical influence on a range of analytical results.
  • Assess the quality of analytical results according to given rules and reflect on their own professional practice.
  • Explain the use of nuclear medical methods.
  • Find, evaluate and follow current guidelines for protection against radiation.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and 4 lab courses, including written and oral assessments. Expected total workload: Lectures: 35 hrs. Lab courses: 45 hrs. Self study: 130 hrs.

Compulsory assignments

  • Four laboratory courses

Further on evaluation

Four laboratory courses, including written and oral assessments, must be approved in order to be eligible for the final written exam. Approved calculator: HP30S, Citizen SR270, Citizen SR270X, Casio fx-82/83ES, Casio fx-82ES PLUS, MATH MI-633 DOT MATRIX DISPLAY, Texas BAII Plus, Casio fx-82-MS, Aurora Scientific Calculator fc582, Texas TI30XIIB/S og Casio fx-82 EX.

New / postponed exam: August. For new / postponed exams, the examination can be changed from written to oral.
