Diabetes is a non-communicable disease that can be prevented and detected as early as possible by routine glucose checks. Point Of Care Testing (POCT) as a diabetes test screening tool is widely used by health care institutions and is even used independently by the wider community. Blood glucose can be measured by serum, plasma, and whole blood specimens. The standard specimen for glucose measurement using POCT is whole blood. Based on the author's survey, the use of the POCT tool in several health care institutions was not following the insert of the tool kit, one of which was the type of specimen used. Many laboratories use EDTA serum and plasma specimens for glucose testing using the POCT device. There are many methods used in the POCT tool, one of these methods is the glucose dehydrogenase method. Therefore analytic evaluation is necessary to ensure the accuracy and accuracy of laboratory examination results in glucose examination. This type of research is the analytical method with a comparative design. The data was collected using the total sampling method. The data is reported using Microsoft Excel and SPSS applications. The number of samples for analytic evaluation was 40 samples. Based on the results of tests performed in duplicate, there were clinical differences in glucose values using serum and plasma EDTA samples so that the use of these samples was not suitable for use for diagnostic purposes using the POCT glucose dehydrogenase method. There was a statistical difference in serum glucose and plasma EDTA against whole blood that was examined using the POCT glucose dehydrogenase method with a correlation value (R) of 0.9722 and 0.9695.

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, and alcohol, is a toxic, volatile, flammable, and colourless liquid. Alcohol is the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage in everyday life. EtOH is a common abbreviation for ethanol, where "Et" stands for the ethyl group (C2H5). Sugar fermentation to ethanol is one of the earliest organic reactions ever performed by humans; ethanol consumption has also been known for a very long time. This study aims to determine the histology of the liver in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) by orally administering ethanol at a concentration of 50 percent. The method used in this study was an experimental study by looking at the histology of rat liver. Rats were divided into two groups, with seven rats each. Group 1 was given 50% ethanol orally for seven days, and group 2, as a control, was only given orally with distilled water. After seven days, the rats were slaughtered, and their livers were extracted for further histological preparations. In the histology results of group 1, the histological images of the livers of the rats P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and P7 were abnormal or damaged. In the presence of necrotic cells, oral administration of 50 percent alcohol causes damage to hepatocyte cells, as determined by the study's findings. However, in general, hepatocyte cell damage in the liver produces a score of 1.7, which indicates a change leading to cell damage.

Entering the era of globalization, manual tools in clinical laboratories have been replaced by full automatic devices. One of them is the Diatron Abacus Hematology analyzer 3. A relatively new hematology analyzer is required for analytical evaluation. Analytical evaluation is an evaluation of Diatron Abacus 3 on Sysmex KX 21 as a standard in RSUD I.A Moeis Samarinda, and it is very important to do this to assess the performance of the tool. Analytical evaluation is done by determining the value of accuracy, precision, and total error and linearity of measurement results from routine hematological examination parameters, which are erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. To determine the results of the hematology analyzer evaluation of Abacus 3 Diatron Analyzers on Routine Hematology Parameters in the Hematology Laboratory of the Health Ministry of Health, East Kalimantan. This type of research is observational descriptive, using a total sampling technique, and a sample of 40 complete K3EDTA blood specimens. Data processing using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 20 applications, analyzed using descriptive statistics. The observations were still included in the criteria for acceptance, accuracy or inaccuracy (d%) in erythrocytes 1.8%, leukocytes 8.0%, platelets -5.3%, hemoglobin 2.3% and hematocrit -1.7%; Precision or impression (CV%) in erythrocytes 4.2%, leukocytes 11.1%, platelets 6%, hemoglobin 3.9% and hematocrit 4.5%; Total errors in erythrocytes were 8.7%, leukocytes 17.9%, platelets 23.6%, hemoglobin 8.8% and hematocrit 9.1; Linearity of the measurement results against the routine hematological cell count values performed using Abacus 3 and Sysmex KX 21 has a positive relationship. Acceptance values are still included in the LOA on all parameters examined and still meet the criteria; the accuracy/bias value is smaller than the true value of the parameter being examined, except for leukocytes, which is greater; the precision on the five parameters is greater than the CV% Abacus 3 insert kit; The total error obtained by the TE value is greater than the TEA in the parameters examined, except for smaller platelets; Linearity of the measurement results against the calculated hematology cell routine values performed using Abacus 3 and Sysmex KX 21 have a positive relationship, meaning an increase in measurement values using Abacus 3 is followed by an increase in measurement values using Sysmex KX 21.

Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disease that is found in Indonesia. One method of examining modern thalassemia is the examination of hemoglobin fraction using the Capillary Electrophoresis. This method has a high level of accuracy and precision for quantification of hemoglobin variants.The purpose of this study was to determine the hemoglobin fraction in thalassemia patients using the Capillary Electrophoresis method. This type of research is descriptive research. The sample of this study was 3 blood specimens from thalassemia sufferers.The results showed that the first specimen, age 4 years had HbA levels of 59.9%, HbA2 levels of 4.3%, HbF levels of 14.7% and HbE levels of 21.1%. In the second specimen, 8 years of age had 88.7% HbA, 2.5% HbA2, 3.2% HbF and 5.6% HbE. In the third specimen, the age of 13 years had HbA levels of 93.8%, HbA2 levels of 4.9% and HbF levels of 1.3%.The conclusion of this study was the first specimen, HbA levels decreased, HbA2 levels increased and HbF levels increased and hemoglobin variants were found, namely HbE. In the second specimen, HbA levels decreased from the normal range, HbA2 levels were in the normal range and HbF levels increased and hemoglobin variants were found, namely HbE. In the third specimen, HbA levels decreased from the normal range, HbA2 levels and HbF levels increased, but no hemoglobin variants were found in this specimen.
