Laboratory Orientation. Addresses basic procedures, safety requirements, and the laboratory's quality assurance program(s).

Testing of Body Fluids and Tissues. An overview of historical and contemporary techniques used to characterize body tissues. Some techniques are still used in the examination of body fluids, while knowledge of others, such as ABO and multi-enzyme systems, is of value if old cases are opened for review.
