Reviews

The first edition of this book was wonderful, and this updated edition continues the tradition of excellence. You need this book for ready access if you do hematopathology. -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:96 - 4 Stars From the reviews of the second edition: The book is nicely illustrated and contains numerous colour figures illustrating the broad variety of flow cytometry applications in various haematological conditions. ... The book is very well suited for clinical pathologists, assistants in training in the field of laboratory medicine and clinical pathology, medical technicians and researchers working in clinical haematology laboratories, as well as clinical haematologists who want to get familiar with the recent evolutions in ... diagnostic laboratory medicine.
