ASCP CHEMISTRY COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
GUIDE 2026 FULLY SOLVED QUESTION SET
◉Photodiode array. Answer: Which component is required in a
spectrophotometer in order to produce a spectral absorbance curve?
◉The range of wavelengths passed at 50% maximum transmittance.
Answer: The half-band width of a monochromator is defined by:
◉The color of reagents. Answer: The reagent blank corrects for
absorbance caused by:
◉100% reflectance is set with an opaque film called a white
reference. Answer: Reflectometry does not follow Beers-Law but the
relationship between concentration and reflectance can be
described by a logistic formula. Name the statement that best
describes Reflectometry?
◉Ruthenium. Answer: Which substance is used to generate the light
signal in electrochemiluminescence?
A. Acridinium
,B. Luminol
C. Dioxetane phosphate
D. Ruthenium
◉Nephelometry. Answer: Measuring light scattered at 90* to the
incident light for maximum sensitivity to small particles which cause
cloudiness in drinking water.
◉Convert ions to atoms. Answer: The pourpose of the nebulizer in
an atomic absorption spectrophotometer that uses a flame is to:
◉A graphite capillary furnace. Answer: Flameless atomic absorption
uses a hollow tube of graphite with quartz ends. The tube is heated
in stages by an electric current to successfully dry, ash and atomize
the sample. A flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometer
dehydrates and atomizes a sample using what?
◉20:1. Answer: At blood ph 7.40, what is the ratio of bicarbonate to
carbonic acid?
◉7.35-7.45. Answer: The reference range for the pH of arterial blood
measured at 37 degrees C is:
, ◉low pH. Answer: A 68 year old man arrives in the emergency room
with a glucose level of 722 mg/dL (39.7 mmol/L and serum acetone
of 4+ undiluted. An arterial blood gas from this patient is likely to be:
◉bicarbonate/ carbonic acid pair. Answer: The most important
buffer pair in plasma is the:
◉of advances in electrochemistry. Answer: Quantitation of Na+ and
K+ by ion selective electrode is the standard method because:
◉BUN, creatine, salicylate, and methanol. Answer: What battery of
test is most useful in evaluating an ion gap of 22 mEq/L (22
mmol/L)
◉plasma bicarbonate concentration. Answer: In respiratory
acidosis, a compensatory mechanisim is the increase in :
◉sodium. Answer: Which of the following electrolytes is the chief
plasma cation whose main function is maintaining osmotic
pressure?
◉check the serum for hemolysis. Answer: A potassium level of
6.8mEq/L (6.8 mmol/L) is obtained. Before reporting the results,
the first step the technologist should take is to:
