malaria diagnosis
Hi - I would normally translate this as slide. But in this instance it is included in a list along with 'portaobjetos'. Are we talking about different kinds of slide here, is it something else (blade?), or is it simply repetition?
"medicamentos antimalaricos, los reactivos para GG, laminas, lancetas, portaobjetos, el insecticida para RRI y otros insumo"
GG = gota gruesa/thick smear. RRI = rociado residual intradomiciliario/indoor residual spraying
Country is Nicaragua.
thanks in advance

but it could be "coverlips"
Finally, the technician would mount a thin glass coverslip over the slides to protect the sections.

Como nos comenta Lucy, la oración contiene la palabra "lámina", sigue enumerando objetos y luego menciona "portaobjetos". En ambos casos traducir como "slides" sonaría redundante. No sabemos a que hace referencia la palabra "lámina", por eso supuse que podría ser "láminas cubreobjetos" (coverslips) y en el otro caso "slides".
Su oración:
medicamentos antimalaricos, los reactivos para GG, laminas, lancetas, portaobjetos, el insecticida para RRI y otros insumo

Comment: "Thanks Marcelo - your answer was the most thorough in response to the question in context. And the references to foil and coverslips are useful. In the end I decided it wasn't possible to ascertain exactly what was meant, so I didn't provide a direct translation but kept slides to cover both since all possibilities are covered by 'otros insumos' here."

Note from asker:
| Yes, that's what I would translate it as normally. It's the fact that 'portaobjetos' are also listed, which I don't think can be anything other than 'slides', that is confusing me! |
