Alhamdulillahirabbil ‘alamin. After a long wait of almost 12 years from the first stand, the scientific journal of the Department of Analyst Health (Medical Laboratory Technology) Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya can be published. BJMLT is published every 6 months (2 issues/year) every October and April. The aim of this journal is to publish high-quality articles dedicated to all aspects of the latest outstanding developments in the field but not limited to Blood transfusion, Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Histopathology, Immunology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Toxicology, Food and Beverage Analysis, Molecular Biology, Medical Biology, and related fields that are of interest to medical laboratory technologies, such as epidemiology, health promotion, professional ethics, and laboratory management, It was first published online in October 2018 using Open Journal System (OJS) 3.1 platform with e-ISSN 2622-6111 by URL http://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/bjmlt.

This edition contains 5 articles on Hematology, Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry, and Epidemiology. Editorial boards are fully aware that there is still room for improvement in this edition, hence with all humility, willing to accept constructive suggestions and feedback for improvements to the publication for the next editions.

The publication of BJMLT certainly participates in disseminating the results of research and review of science and technology development conducted by lecturers and researchers from UM Palangkaraya and other universities.

The editorial board would like to thank the University, all editors and reviewers, and contributors of the scientific articles who have provided the repertoire in this issue. We hope that all parties, especially the contributors of the articles, could re-participate in the publication's success in the next edition in April 2023.
