Our free MLT(ASCP) practice questions crafted to reflect the domains and difficulty of the actual exam. The detailed rationales explain the 'why' behind each answer, reinforcing key concepts about ASCP-MLT. Use this test to pinpoint which areas you need to focus your study on.
The body compensates for alkalosis or acidosis of the blood PRIMARILY to regain a normal pH, between 7.35 - 7.45.
When the body compensates for a respiratory or metabolic disorder, the MAIN goal is to achieve:
A zone of inhibition is the area around an antibiotic-infused paper disk that does not show any bacterial growth. The antibiotic impregnated on the disk will diffuse into the agar in the area surrounding the disk. If the bacteria are sensitive to the antibiotic, they cannot grow near the disk. The size of the zone is proportional to how sensitive the organism is. If the organism is resistant to the antibiotic, it will grow very closely to the disk.
The size of the zone of suppressed growth on a sensitivity plate using sensitivity disks is referred to as the zone of:
Primary- Target glands (such as thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, etc.)
Secondary- Pituitary gland
Tertiary- Hypothalamus
Match the type of endocrine dysfunction with the appropriate organ:
1. Target gland
2. Pituitary gland
3. Hypothalamus
Platelets do not circulate in inactivated, spiny forms. The spiny, sticky form of the platelet is initiated once the platelets become activated in response to blood vessel damage.
Which of the following is not true in terms of platelet characteristics?
Match the viruses below with their associated conditions.
1. Herpesvirus
2. Papovavirus
3. Rhinovirus
4. Rotavirus
In this case, with the pre-incubation aPTT mixing study result "corrected" and the post-incubation aPTT mixing study result "not corrected", a coagulation inhibitor should be suspected. Both anti-factor VIII and lupus anticoagulant have been known to be slow-acting and can exhibit this result pattern. If a factor deficiency was present, we should not see a post-incubation prolongation.
Hematology
What may cause the following mixing studies results?
Initial aPTT = 133 seconds
1:1 Mix aPTT pre-incubation = 33 seconds
1:1 Mix aPTT post-incubation = 124 seconds
RAST tests, or Radioallergosorbent tests, are used to screen for an allergy to a specific substance or substances if a person presents with allergy-like symptoms.
The assay which is most helpful in identifying specific allergens is:
The activities conducted in a laboratory with a certificate of waiver include:
Charcot-Leyden crystals in stool are thought to be created from damaged eosinophil byproducts. These crystals have a strong association, although they are rare, with parasitic infections or allergic reactions.
Charcot-Leyden crystals in stool may be associated with an immune response and are thought to be the breakdown products of:
Hemoglobin H is a tetramer made of four beta globin chains. Hemoglobin H occurs when there is very limited alpha chain availability used to make normal hemoglobin
A.
Hemoglobin H forms in those affected with alpha thalassemia major as well as in people with the combination of two-gene deletion alpha thalassemia and hemoglobin Constant Spring.Hematology
Which of the following combination of globin chains comprise Hemoglobin H?
