The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has created this remarkable set of virtual laboratory activities for scholars of all ages. Designed as part of its BioInteractive series, the labs cover bacterial identification, cardiology, immunology, and even stickleback fish evolution. Each one of
the labs has a tutorial, along with a set of activities designed to help scientists learn more about the biological processes involved with each
one. Visitors can browse the offerings here by topic or search all of the labs for specific details.

The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) is a worldwide, non-political organization for clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. As such it has a range of roles that include (1) global standard setting in collaboration with other international organizations, (2) supporting its members through scientific and educational endeavour, and (3) providing a series of congresses, conferences and focussed meetings in order for laboratory medicine specialists to meet and present original findings and best practice.
The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) is committed to being the premier international agency for accreditation and approval of educational programs in the clinical laboratory sciences and related health professions through the involvement of expert volunteers and its dedication to public service.
Clinical Laboratory News HD is the mobile version of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry’s monthly news magazine for clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, research scientists, and other individuals involved with clinical chemistry and related disciplines. Published for more than 35 years, Clinical Laboratory News is the authoritative source for timely analysis of issues and trends affecting clinical laboratorians, clinical laboratories, and the practice of clinical laboratory science.
Lab Test Navigator provides the most comprehensive, yet practical, resource of clinical laboratory information for, physicians, medical students, nurses, residents and laboratory professionals.
Designed for students in health professions (medical, nursing, allied health) learning to record and interpret medical lab values from Complete Blood Chemistry (CBC), Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) and Arterial Blood Gas (ABG).
Quick LabRef for Android (Quick Clinical Laboratory Values Reference) provides quick look at the up-to-date information on the most commonly used clinical laboratory values and other useful relevant information such as lab data in Microbiology, Physiology / Pathophysiology, Toxicology and etc.
The Division of Laboratory Systems’ initiative includes:
- A report on the current status of laboratory medicine in the United States, which provides a detailed overview of the key factors affecting the field of laboratory medicine today and those that will shape the field in the coming decades.
- Development of methods to review, evaluate and make evidence–based recommendations for best practices in laboratory medicine.
- Pilot testing the feasibility of a laboratory network to identify evidence based practices.

Provided by the US National Library of Medicine this resource provides information on over 339,000 compounds of biomedical and regulatory interest. Chemical property and toxicity information is included.
MLabs and the Department of Pathology Laboratories at the University of Michigan offer a full range of tests and services. Our faculty have expertise in all disciplines of Pathology and are available to provide consultation to referring physicians.
As with the resources listed above, this website allows you to search or browse by test name. Critical values can be found by clicking on the "Therapeutic Guidelines" button. The website also has guidelines related to the collection of specimens.
The number of clinical laboratory tests available to health care providers increases every year. New tests may replace older, traditional tests or they may provide important additional information. Thus, acquiring and maintaining expertise on the proper use of clinical laboratory tests requires continual effort. Mayo Medical Laboratories Interpretive Handbook is a concise resource that can help with this challenge. For the tests offered by Mayo Medical Laboratories, it provides interpretive guidance, along with necessary background clinical information to place the tests in proper context. The information for each test is prepared by a Mayo Clinic expert with direct oversight of that test.

CDC’s Office of Safety, Health, and Environment and the National Institutes of Health periodically publish and update several national publications on Biosafety: Biosafety in Microbiological and Medical Laboratories (BMBL) and Primary Containment for Biohazards: Selection, Installation, and Use of Biosafety Cabinets.
For more than 20 years, since it was first published in 1983, the Laboratory Biosafety Manual has provided practical guidance on biosafety techniques for use in laboratories at all levels.
For this new edition, the manual has been extensively revised and expanded. The manual now covers risk assessment and safe use of recombinant DNA technology, and provides guidelines for the comissioning and cetification of laboratories. Laboratory biosecurity concepts are introduced, and the latest regulations for the transport of infectious substances are reflected. Material on safety in health-care laboratories, previously published elsewhere by WHO, has also been incorporated.
