Lab Tests & Protocols

Lab Tests Online

Produced by the AACC; this site has been designed to help patients or family caregivers to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care, diagnosis, and treatment of a broad range of diseases. For medical professionals, this site can serve as a quick reference tool or as a resource for keeping up with advances in laboratory science.

Lab Test Databases

Compilation of lab test databases around the world by the Australasian Association for Clinical Biochemistry (AACB)

Mayo Clinic Labs Interpretive Handbook

For the tests offered by Mayo Medical Laboratories, it provides interpretive guidance, along with necessary background clinical information to place the tests in proper context. The information for each test is prepared by a Mayo Clinic expert with direct oversight of that test.

Table of critical limits

Handy PDFs of Critical values for therapeutic drug levels, cut-off & toxicity levels for drugs-of-abuse testing, a table of critical limits, and a table of reference intervals from Medical Laboratory Observers.

Protocol Online

Protocol Online is a database of research protocols in a variety of life science fields. It contains protocols contributed by worldwide researchers as well as links to web protocols hosted by worldwide research labs, biotech companies, personal web sites.

MicrobeLibrary Protocol Collection

Common protocols in microbiology from American Society of Microbiology.

VADLO Life Sciences Search Engine: Protocols

Search VADLO for techniques, recipes, methods, procedures in molecular biology.

Bio-protocol

An e-journal founded in 2010 by a group of Stanford researchers to make life-science research more efficient and reproducible by curating and hosting high quality, open-access, life science protocols.

Calculators

Medical Calculators from Cornell

Includes dosing calculators, conversions, metabolic calculations, and respiratory calculations.

Images & Videos

American Society of Hematology (ASH) Image Bank

ASH Image Bank is a Web-based image library that offers a comprehensive, growing collection of images relating to a wide range of hematology topics. ASH members and the hematology community can use images that have been peer reviewed by ASH. Image Bank slides are easily searchable and can be downloaded with one click. Users may create unique collections called My Collection.

Atlas of Hematology

Pictures show normal cells from blood and bone marrow and also a substantial variety of hematologic diseases.

ASM MicrobeLibrary

A peer-reviewed, digital media center for undergraduate microbiology sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology. Both the Gallery and Visual Media Briefs include:

  • Stained microscopic images of microorganisms using all types of optics;
  • Electron micrographs of microbial and cellular structures;
  • Macroscopic images of colonial morphology;
  • Time-lapsed photography of microbial and cellular interactions; and
  • Animations of microbial and cellular processes.

Pathology Education Instruction Resource (PEIR) Digital Library

Pathology images, searchable by keyword.
