Your lattice: 0 points litDaily challenge

See how every part of the lab connects.
Lessons for all eight departments, one-page guides and a working lab to practice in. Follow a topic from one department into the next, then practice it at the bench.
Free to read. No account needed.

Where departments meet
The same idea shows up in more than one place.
Every link on the lattice comes from the lessons and cases themselves. Here are three of them, each tying a skill in one department to a skill in another.
When an analyzer flag questions a count, the laboratory's procedure can call for a manual chamber count, calculated from the dilution and counted area of the validated method.
RPR titers and maternal antibody titers share one rule: a change counts only between titers measured by the same method.
Stored red cells lose 2,3-BPG, which shifts the oxygen curve left, so transfused cells release oxygen less readily until 2,3-BPG recovers.

With a free account
Light up your own lattice as you learn.
Every lesson you read, question you answer and case you verify lights a point. Some points unlock a design for your study space. Finishing Blood Group Foundations, for one, teaches the blood bank heart to beat.

The lab
Five stations, one working lab.
Each case ends with a debrief that links back to the lessons behind it, so what you practice at the bench lands on the same lattice as what you read.
The library
All eight departments, 104 lessons.
Every lesson lists its sources, ends with three self-check questions and has a one-page guide where one helps. Each one is reviewed by a certified medical laboratory scientist.
Start with one lesson and watch the rest connect.
Pick a department or a case. With a free account, every lesson and case you finish lights a point on your lattice.
