[0002] The clinical laboratory serves as a bridge between clinical medicine and basic medicine, encompassing multiple sub-disciplines such as clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, clinical immunology, hematology, fluidology, and transfusion medicine. The clinical laboratory is the department within a hospital or medical institution responsible for testing a variety of human and animal specimens. These specimens may come from wards, outpatient clinics, various physical examinations, and scientific research projects. Leveraging advanced equipment and expert technicians, the clinical laboratory is able to provide accurate and reliable test results, providing a crucial basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
