The Diploma in Medical Lab Technician program at Puran Murti Campus in Sonepat offers extensive and hands-on practical training as a core component of its curriculum. Practical learning is integrated across all semesters, ensuring that students are not only well-versed in theoretical concepts but also confident in performing real-world diagnostic procedures in a clinical setting.
One of the foundational skills students acquire is phlebotomy, which is the technique of drawing blood from patients for laboratory testing. Students learn how to properly handle syringes, use vacutainers, follow safety and hygiene protocols, and manage patient interaction during blood collection—an essential skill in almost every medical laboratory role.
In the microbiology lab, students are trained in how to prepare and culture various microorganisms. They learn to work with petri dishes, agar media, incubators, and staining techniques like Gram staining and acid-fast staining. These practices help them identify pathogens responsible for infections, which is a crucial part of medical diagnostics.
In hematology, students are taught how to analyze blood samples for components such as red and white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin levels, and clotting times. They work with microscopes, hemocytometers, and automated blood analyzers to perform complete blood count (CBC) tests and peripheral smears.
In the biochemistry and clinical chemistry sections, students conduct various biochemical tests including blood glucose, cholesterol, liver and kidney function tests, and electrolyte analysis. These tests are carried out using spectrophotometers, semi-auto analyzers, centrifuges, and other diagnostic instruments. Proper handling of reagents, quality control procedures, and accurate interpretation of results are emphasized throughout training.
Students are also trained in immunology techniques such as ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), which are commonly used to detect diseases like HIV, hepatitis, and COVID-19. Understanding antigen-antibody reactions, titration, and diagnostic markers is an essential part of this module.
In the histopathology section, students learn how to process tissue samples for microscopic examination. This involves sectioning, staining, and mounting tissue slides to detect structural changes that indicate disease, such as tumors or chronic inflammation.
All practical sessions are conducted in well-equipped laboratories that mimic real clinical environments. Students also receive instruction on lab safety, infection control, biomedical waste disposal, record keeping, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
The college ensures that this training is complemented by clinical internships, where students apply their practical skills in real hospital and laboratory settings. This dual exposure to classroom labs and clinical environments ensures that graduates are job-ready and competent from day one.
