So, you really want to see where I work ar??

Here are some photos of the clinical laboratory I'm working in.... Who says UTAR's equipments are bad? Take a look at these....

This is the space were I work in... That indian girl is extremely helpful... cheerful too... haha.



Here's an extremely old biochemical analyser by Bayer. Still working fine, slow and steady wins the hearts of patients.... haha


Anyway, the hospital is planning to acquire a new biochemistry analyser by Randox.... so small yet so expensive.... top up another RM 30k and you have enough money to buy a brand new Honda Civic Hybrid car!!!

These are the few centrifuge machines I've been handling for these few weeks... They're definitely older than I am!!! Except for the pink colour one - just loaned from someone two days ago, and it is born in 1989... haha.... still working fantastically well.


Then the spectrophotometer.... Very old also, my supervisor said that it's going to spoil quite soon... but still can be used in the time being.


This room is for microbiology purposes....

.... and guess what I can find here?

The mini autoclave.... about the size of our home rice cooker.... small and cute! Used to autoclave agar mix.


Microscope by Nikon.... they should send it for maintenance already... optical lens for the right eyepiece a bit dirty ler... and the view is slightly out of alignment, so it makes urine FEME a bit hard...


Bilirubin meter...


Blood serum/plasma Sodium/Potassium analyser...


And finally... the most up to date machine in da house! Sysmex Blood analyser - running all the Hb, RBC, WBC counts, MCHC, etc...


That's it! Tell me more about your lab...

*Special thanks to Metro Specialist Hospital Sungai Petani for letting me work in your clinical laboratory. These photos are not meant to contempt the hospital lab. Working over there is definitely a rewarding experience... at least for the first few weeks... hehe. Overall, the lab has all the basic tests for patients' need. So that's good!!!
