Academic Partnership

MLT/MLS Student Hands-On Training

MLT/MLS students at ECUSTA perform supervised CBC and 5-part differential analysis on the DxH 900, review VCS scatter plots, flag abnormal cell populations, and operate the DxI 800 and Access 2 immunoassay platforms — gaining experience in both cellular hematology analysis and quantitative immunoassay interpretation under real-world clinical conditions.
