Clinical Chemistry is a branch of medical laboratory science that studies the analysis of chemical components in blood, urine and other body fluids to support diagnosis, monitor therapy and evaluate patient health status. Clinical chemistry examination includes carbohydrate, lipid, protein metabolism, kidney function, liver function and clinical enzymes. This science is an important foundation in understanding the body's biochemical processes and their relationship to various diseases, especially cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
The Clinical Chemistry Laboratory in the Medical Laboratory Technology Department of the Ministry of Health Surabaya Polytechnic is designed as a practical learning space that is modern, safe, and complies with ISO 15189 standards. This laboratory is equipped with:
-
Automatic analyzer for checking glucose, lipids, kidney and liver function.
-
Manual equipment for basic biochemical tests.
-
Internal and external Quality Control (QC) systems to guarantee the accuracy of results.
-
Biosafety and K3 laboratory facilities to support student work safety.
🌟 Advantages of the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory
-
Complete facilities: Manual and automatic equipment that meets clinical laboratory standards.
-
Integration of theory and practice: Students learn biochemical concepts while applying them directly to clinical cases.
-
Guaranteed quality: Implementation of QC, verification and validation of inspection results according to international standards.
-
Professional environment: Students are trained to think critically, analytically and communicatively in presenting examination results.
The learning atmosphere in the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory emphasizes student-centered learning with a guided practicum approach, case discussions, simulations, and project-based learning. Students actively interact with lecturers and instructors, work in teams, and are trained to master technical skills as well as the ability to interpret results. A conducive, disciplined and professional laboratory environment supports the creation of a fun, relevant and applicable learning experience.
