Innovating Science™ Diagnosis of White Blood Cell Counts Kit

Description

Innovating Science™ Diagnosis of White Blood Cell Counts Kit allows students to perform white blood cell counts on five patient samples, and then suggest a possible diagnosis based on the determined cell levels.

• White blood cells, or leukocytes, only account for approximately 1% of the total number of cells found in blood
• They are still a critical part of the immune system, protecting the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses
• White blood cells counts are often performed as part of a medical diagnosis to determine if the level of white blood cells in a patient’s blood is within, or outside of the normal range
• In this activity students will perform white blood cell counts on five different patient samples and suggest possible diagnoses based on the white blood cell levels
• The samples contain safe, non-biological simulated cells that do not require staining
• Requires microscopes and hemocytometers (not included)
• Contains enough material for 15 lab groups
• Includes Teacher’s Guide and Student Study copy masters
