Prepare for the Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) Certification Exam with a comprehensive review of clinical laboratory science, including clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, coagulation, immunohematology, urinalysis, molecular diagnostics, and serologic testing. This exam review covers freezing-point osmometry and the relationship between freezing-point depression and dissolved particle concentration, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) testing and bacterial resistance, and the effects of direct thrombin inhibitors such as argatroban and bivalirudin on clot-based assays. Strengthen your understanding of hepatitis A testing in patients with compatible travel and clinical histories, urinary 17-ketosteroids for evaluating adrenal and gonadal function, and the antiglobulin (AHG) phase used to detect clinically significant red-cell antibodies. Additional topics include cerebrospinal fluid xanthochromia and findings associated with previous subarachnoid hemorrhage, bilirubin conjugation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, Clostridioides difficile-associated pseudomembranous colitis, cystine crystals in urinalysis, serologic crossmatching to detect recipient antibodies against donor red blood cells, and capillary electrophoresis in DNA sequencing. Designed for MLS certification candidates, medical laboratory science students, and clinical laboratory professionals, this resource supports focused review of diagnostic principles, laboratory methods, organism identification, test interpretation, and clinically relevant laboratory concepts. Use it to reinforce essential knowledge and organize your preparation for certification assessments. Updated for the 2026/2027 study period and available for convenient digital access.

MLS Exam Questions

A+ Graded Answers| Latest
Updated 2026

,Which of the following describes the basis for the
freezing point Osmometer?


The freezing point depression is lowered by an amount
that is directly proportional to the concentration of
dissolved particles in the solution.



Each of the following organisms may possess
extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)
activity except: Escherichia coli
Klebsiella oxytoca
Proteus mirabilis
Pseudomonas aeruginosa


Pseudomonas aeruginosa


Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not tested for ESBL
production. The organism is typically resistant to
ampicillin, cefazolin, and other first and second
generations cephalosporins

,Anticoagulant drugs which are direct thrombin
inhibitors (such as argatroban and bivalirudin) can
prolong which of the following clot based assay/s?
Ecarin clotting time only (ECT)
Activated thromboplastin time
(aPTT) only PT and aPTT
PT, aPTT and Ecarin clotting time


PT, aPTT and Ecarin clotting time

, A traveler is being evaluated at a local hospital for
gastrointestinal pain, fever, and diarrhea. The patient
has recently returned from a month-long visit to
Southeast Asia. The patient has no recent history of
sexual activity or IV drug use but did describe
conditions of poor sanitation where they were
visiting. If liver function test results were elevated
and bilirubinuria was noted, which of the following
would be the next logical test to order?
a. ELISA test for the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
(HBsAg)
b. Recombinant Immunoblot Assay (RIBA) test for
Hepatitis C
c. Western Blot test for HIV
d. ELISA testing for Hepatitis A antigens in the stool


ELISA testing for Hepatitis A antigens in the stool

The measurement of 17-ketosteroids (17-KSs) in urine is
performed to assess PRIMARILY which organ(s)?


Testes and adrenal cortex


In the antibody screening test, at what phase of
reactivity is it most important to read the reactions
for detection of clinically significant antibodies?


AHG
