Learn hematology. Practice blood-cell identification. Connect what you see on a blood film with the science behind it. ViviCell brings real microscopy images, focused practice, lessons, and spaced review together for Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) and Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) students. Study on iPhone or iPad, with all study content available offline. PRACTICE WITH REAL IMAGES Identify cells and selected cellular aberrations on authentic blood films. Choose your topics, session length, and starting difficulty. Answer choices adapt to each topic's recorded accuracy and confusions, while missed-image warm-ups help you revisit earlier mistakes. Compare images side by side in the Atlas. Use Practice Insights to see missed categories and repeated confusions, then open a focused practice session or the relevant reference. CONNECT MORPHOLOGY TO MECHANISM • 15 hematology and coagulation modules with diagrams and learning objectives • 300 quiz questions with answer explanations • 24 clinical cases with 69 questions linking laboratory findings to disease • Interactive RBC deformation lessons, including a two-cell splenic-slit comparison EXPLORE THE VISUAL ATLAS • Over 1,500 images • 27 cell categories and 27 RBC morphology cards • 56 cellular aberrations and 57 pathology conditions • Recognition features, common confusions, and source references Browse by lineage, finding, or pathology group.

LabSyria is an Arabic-first app for medical laboratory science, built for laboratory scientists and students in Syria and the region. Everything in it is free. The Academy Six full courses in Arabic covering quality control, pre-analytics, clinical chemistry, haematology and sample collection. Every module ends in a quiz, and finishing a course issues a certificate carrying a verification ID that any employer or body can check at learn.labsyria.com. Tools that run on your device, offline A Levey-Jennings simulator with Westgard rules for reading control results. A conventional to SI unit converter. Clinical calculators including eGFR, corrected calcium, anion gap and sigma metrics. A reference range table and a bilingual glossary. All of it computes on your device, so it works in any laboratory whatever the connection. Every calculator and every reference table names the published source behind its numbers, from CKD-EPI and CLSI to WHO and NICE, and a Sources and references screen collects all of them in one place. The lab assistant Ask about quality control, pre-analytics, or standards such as ISO 15189 and get an answer in Arabic, grounded in the app's own content. Educational only: it does not diagnose and does not interpret an individual patient's result. When the connection drops it answers from the content stored on your device. Library and store Professional articles and a searchable glossary, plus a directory of instruments and reagents available in Syria. No sign-in. No advertising. No tracking. Your progress and certificates stay on your device. LabSyria is an initiative of POCTIFY LTD in the United Kingdom. Note: this app is for education and professional development.
