Introduction: Health Laboratory Services is an integral part of healthcare services to the public. The main task of health analyst conducts healthcare laboratory services. In order to produce health analyst personnel who meet the needs of graduates or stake holders, the education will apply the curriculum for the learning process. Diploma in Education 3 students must take at least 108 credits (semester credit unit). Meanwhile, the education core Curriculum 3 medical laboratory technology defined by 82 credits. In order to fulfill the credits set need to be arranged local content to meet the shortage of credits from the core curriculum that is suitable for learning access. Purpose: Obtain the amount of data on the number of laboratory tests and local subjects. Method: Secondary Data from the recording and reporting of each laboratory for 3 months. Results: A total of 48.04% clinical chemical test types. A total of 18.87% hematological examination. A total of 1.88% of parasitological and microbiological examination. A total of 19.54% of immunological examination. The curriculum that is used by the Poltekkes Department of Health analyst Semarang 108 SKS with 82 SKS core curriculum and 26 SKS local payload. The subject or number of face-to-face is based on the data proportion of three large groups of tests, namely clinical chemistry (48.04%). Immunological examination (19.54%) and hematological examination (18.87%). Conclusion: The most proportion of tests on fasyankes are clinical chemistry (48.04%). Courses "Knowledge of materials practice" could be added to the curriculum of the D3 of the Poltekkes health analyst Program in Semarang. Suggestion: Need to calculate the credits and proportion of face to face or depth to the local content course "knowledge of practice materials" and placement in the semester.

Livestock and companion animal health have a direct impact on human health. Research on clinical laboratory technology for veterinary medicine is as important as that on human laboratory technology. Reagents and analysis equipment for human medical laboratory tests are often used in veterinary medicine. Medical laboratories in Japan utilize the Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC) method for blood alkaline phosphatase (ALP) analysis. The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) method is used worldwide for ALP catalytic concentration measurement. When the IFCC method is used, human blood ALP activity is approximately one-third of the JSCC method’s activity. The JSCC method for ALP measurement was switched to the IFCC method in medical laboratories in Japan in April 2020 for global standardization purpose. It is uncertain whether conventional JSCC method reagents will continue to be supplied. In veterinary medicine, the relationship between the JSCC and IFCC methods in terms of ALP measurement is almost unclear. This study investigated the regression between JSCC and IFCC methods measuring ALP in bovine, canine, feline, and human. The regression formulas for bovine, canine, feline, and human ALP values using the conventional JSCC (x) and IFCC (y) methods are y = 0.379x + 0.124, y = 0.289x + 8.291, y = 0.358x + 0.432, and y = 0.337x + 2.959, respectively. These results suggested that the IFCC method measurement could be estimated by approximately one-third of the JSCC method measurement in animal species such as bovine, canine, and feline. By applying the conversion factors proposed in this study, a very good correlation could be obtained between the two methods for each animal.

The attraction of the simple biochemical concept combined with a clinical requirement for a long-term marker of glycolic control in diabetes has made hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) one of the most important assays undertaken in the medical laboratory. The diversity in the biochemistry of glycation, clinical requirements, and management demands has resulted in a broad range of methods being developed since HbA1c was described in the late 1960s. A range of analytic principles are used for the measurement of HbA1c. The charge difference between hemoglobin A0 and HbA1c has been widely utilized to separate these two fractions, most notably found these days in ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography systems; the difference in molecular structure (affinity chromatography and immunochemical methods) are becoming widely available. Different results found in different laboratories using a variety of HbA1c analyses resulted in the need for standardization, most notably in the United States, Japan, and Sweden. Designated comparison methods are now located in these three countries, but as they are arbitrarily chosen and have differences in specificity, results of these methods and the reference values and action limits of the methods differ and only harmonized HbA1c in specific geographic areas. A reference measurement system within the concept of metrological traceability is now globally accepted as the only valid analytic anchor. However, there is still discussion over the units to be reported. The consensus statement of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC), the American Diabetes Association, the International Diabetes Federation, and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes suggests reporting HbA1c in IFCC units (mmol/mol), National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program units (%), and estimated average glucose (either in mg/dl or mmol/liter). The implementation of this consensus statement raised new questions, to be answered in a concerted action of clinicians, biochemists, external quality assessment organizers, patient groups, and manufacturers.

Pediatrics, the Academy's official journal, came into being in 1948. Its establishment signified the effort of the Academy and the pediatric academic community to create an outstanding scientific publication in the field of pediatrics. Through the past 25 years this goal was achieved and maintained under the editorial direction of three eminent and respected editors: Dr. Hugh McCulloch, Dr. Charles May, and Dr. Clement Smith. In the same period, there have been accomplishments in the publishing and management of the journal which have facilitated Academy objectives. Basic factors which sustain a scientific journal include scientific papers of high quality, the interest of authors in advancing and diffusing knowledge, and a broad readership supportive of the journal and the goals of the sponsoring society.

Abstract A new technique (Flash Titration™) for the determination of total acidity and total alkalinity was applied to food and beverage analysis. Requiring no liquid titrants, Flash Titration is a technique made possible through microfabrication of electrochemical components on a silicon chip. Acidic or basic titrant was generated electrochemically at a noble-metal electrode that intimately surrounded an ion-selective, field-effect transistor pH sensor. As acid or base was generated through electrolysis, sample alkalinity or acidity, respectively, was neutralized in the immediate vicinity of the electrode. Through diffusion, a zone comprising a gradient of partially to totally neutralized sample expanded from the generating electrode into the volume element sensed by the nearby pH sensor. An analysis of the pH signal versus time revealed an end point inflection at an elapsed time related to the total alkalinity or acidity of the sample. End point times were typically a few seconds. In this paper, Flash Titration was applied to the analysis of a variety of samples, including juices, soft drinks, wines, and food products. The differences between the results obtained by the Flash Titration method and a commonly used conventional volumetric method were less than 2% in most food products tested. Analysis costs were reduced both through time saving and reduction or elimination of hazardous liquid titrant disposal, by the use of the Flash Titration method.
