@marilynthescientist: The nastiest smell in the lab is by far a fresh semenalysis sample right when you walk into your shift. Please fight me in the comments because that smell alone makes Proteus, 4 different anaerobes and the Sickle Dex buffer solution smell like a bed of roses 🤷🏽♀️ Click the link in my bio to study with me for the ASCP/AMT exams. 🔬📓🦠#Science #fyp #medicallabscientist #viral #ascp
This makes me so grateful that the lab I work in is pediatric only 😅

I’ve never done the semen analysis cause we don’t do that in our lab. But the worst thing I’ve seen and smelled has happened twice now. Urine that is literally just one big glob. I can’t do it. When it plops out of the specimen cup I start gagging. The smell is always terrible too and smacks you right in the face.

the worst smell in the lab I ever experienced was an 80 year old patient's urine sample from an infected catheter. you could smell it from 10 feet away even with the lid on. I wasn't even working urinalysis that day, but was called over to run the sample because 2 coworkers were too gagged by the stench to handle the sample.

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one that feels the exact same way, I used to do them at a clinic cause nobody else could do it either so I would do them all the time and it’s just a smell that I fucking hate now

Absolutely!! Also, our specimens were were super fresh because they were collected in the men’s restroom and passed to the department through a small door in the wall. So creepy. 🤮
