Bands/Stabs. Early in the response to infection, immature forms of neutrophils will be seen. These are call Stab or Band cells. The presence of these immature cells is called a shift to the left and can be the earliest sign of a WBC response, even before the WBC becomes elevated.
urine culture and sensitivity (C&S), a microscopic study of the urine culture performed to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria in patients with suspected urinary tract infection.rine culture and sensitivity (C&S), a microscopic study of the urine culture performed to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria in patients with suspected urinary tract infection.
The concentration at which the mean response is statistically beyond the noise limits of the signal at zero concentration. Analytical sensitivity is the ability of a test to detect a target analyte (e.g., an antibody or antigen), which is usually expressed as the minimum detectable concentration of the analyte.
