Description
This market leader provides both a fundamental overview of the field of clinical laboratory science and a discipline-by-discipline approach to each of the clinical lab science areas. Laboratory skills and techniques are stressed throughout this introductory text, including phometry, pipetting, titration, use of laboratory glassware, laboratory safety, use of the microscope, use of balances and reagent preparation, and laboratory calculations. The collection of laboratory specimens is discussed at length, with an emphasis on vein and finger puncture techniques, and a reference guide to basic clinical chemistry is included. Its clear layout and direct writing style make it user-friendly, allowing the student to draw out key points.
