Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Medical Laboratory Sciences

This three-part Blood Collection series reviews the anatomic and physiologic considerations related to phlebotomy - the collection of blood - as well as describe the most common blood tests. Objectives: After completing this course, the learner should be able to: Differentiate between the five types of blood vessels. Identify the locations of three preferred sites for venipuncture. Name the three formed elements found in blood. Name the four blood types. List seven common blood tests.

This program illustrates every aspect of gowning for different classes of cleanroom. The video content includes: So - this is a cleanroom, Preparation - black zone, grey zone, Robing procedures - white zone, Leaving the cleanroom and Review.

This video introduces the twelve provisions of the US Food and Drug Administration's Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, parts 210 & 211, "The Good Manufacturing Practices," in a logical progression. The video introduces each provision, summarizes it, and provides timely pauses between segments for class discussion. It useful for new employee orientation or as an overview for veterans. It's an introduction designed as a supplement for current GMP training sessions.

The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) includes video as well as abstracts and transcripts (in both HTML and PDF formats).
Video titles: An introduction to the centrifuge -- Regulating temperature in the lab : preserving samples using cold -- Introduction to light microscopy -- Introduction to fluorescence microscopy -- Histological sample preparation for light microscopy -- Introduction to the spectrophotometer -- Measuring mass in the laboratory -- An introduction to working in the hood -- Introduction to the Bunsen burner -- Introduction to serological pipettes and pipettors -- An introduction to the micropipettor -- Making solutions in the laboratory -- Understanding concentration and measuring volumes -- Introduction to the microplate reader -- Regulating temperature in the lab : applying heat.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. Discusses analytical method validation which is the process to confirm that the analytical procedure employed for a specific test is suitable for its intended use. FDA and USP definitions, interpretations and initiatives are looked at. Also included is a discussion of calibration requirements in the laboratory

Laboratory safety issues covered in this video include: chemical fume hoods, emergency showers, eyewash stations, chemical storage and safe chemical use.
