1.) When a laboratory has to a cross over study for a new lot of reagent, instrument comparison, and a new instrument/s going, what is the total allowable error equation to make sure that analyte is within acceptable range?

2. What happens if a new lot of reagent fails the total allowable error with multiple samples across the AMR? The new reagent passes QC and calibration. The samples included are patients and API samples.

3. Are ghost cells ever included in a body fluid count? Why or why not?

4. If an chemistry analyzer passes QC and calibration, and patient samples were not correct, what are the next steps? At the end of the process of trouble shooting, would the lab do a patient comparison to observe patient samples worked? How would the lab know if the issues was resolved if calibration and QC passed without a patient comparison? The QC and calibration passed the first time, and the patient results were still incorrect.

4.) How would a person handle a situation where two supervisors were openly speaking about a coworker's performance, and said the lab director wouldn't fire them because they were a DEI project?

5.) There are many places that claim diversity, what is a situation that a person in thr DEI community got justice for the discrimination against  them? I have observed a lot of racism and sexism in the lab. I want to bring opportunity and I want to hear from others who have?
