Learning Results
Theoretical and practical fundamentals of Clinical-Laboratorial Biochemistry (CLB);
• Analytical techniques for the determination of the analytical parameters adjusted to its objectives;
• Understand the fundamental concepts of analytical methods studied will allow qualitative and/or quantitative
analytical conclusions;
• Handle in a scientifically correct, expeditious and safe way the laboratory instrumentation, as well as the
implementation of the analytical techniques with view to obtain more accurate and secure results as possible;
• Select the most appropriate methodology to solve a problem of laboratory analysis, taking into account specific
requirements like detection sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility among others;
• Interpret critically the results and assess their quality;
• Develop capacities on a teamwork level;
• Practical use of instrumental methods of analysis more common in CLB;
