Image
1. Objective The objective of the test was to measure the rate at which red blood cells settled at the bottom of a vertical tube over a specified period, helping to detect inflammation in the body. 2. Principle The test was based on the principle that red blood cells settle faster in the presence of increased plasma proteins, such as fibrinogen and immunoglobulins, which occur during inflammation. The distance the RBCs fell in a given time was measured and expressed in millimeters per hour (mm/hr). 3. Materials • Patient’s blood sample (mixed with anticoagulant) • Westergren or Wintrobe ESR tube • Anticoagulant (sodium citrate) • ESR stand • Timer • PPE (gloves, lab coat) 4. Procedure (Microscopic/Analytical) 1. Blood was collected by venipuncture and mixed with sodium citrate anticoagulant in a 4:1 ratio. 2. The mixture was drawn into a Westergren tube up to the zero mark. 3. The tube was placed vertically in an ESR stand. 4. The level of clear plasma at the top of the col...

Rapid Test (ICT – Immunochromatographic Test ): It relied on antigen-antibody binding producing a visible colored line on a strip. Western Blot : It detected specific HIV proteins using patient antibodies as confirmation. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction ): It detected HIV RNA/DNA in blood, useful in early infection or newborns. 3. Materials : Patient’s serum or plasma sample HIV test kit (ELISA plate / Rapid strip / PCR reagents) Micropipettes and tips Buffer solution ELISA reader (for ELISA method) C...
