Hematology Introduction to Blood
This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this simulation, and to practice your
written scientific communication skills. Include enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to
someone who understands the concepts but has not participated in the simulation. Use correct scientific
terminology whenever applicable.

1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.
What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim
that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred.
Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in the

, For your entry make sure to include the following:
● Include one statement that describes the overall objective in your own words.
● Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to study the blood samples of different patients through hematological
techniques like production of complete blood count (CBC), preparation of blood smears, and identifying
different components of blood with the help of staining techniques. Upon observation of these samples, we can
diagnose the potential disorder in the blood based on the abnormality present.
Hypothesis:
When the blood sample of a patient shows an abnormal count or pattern of cells, it can show the detection of a
blood disorder such as anemia, leukemia, or infection. If we compare the samples with control samples, we are
able to identify a likely diagnosis in terms of a variation from the normal blood profile.
