Reviews

Even if this book is aimed at technicians, it is extremely useful for vet students ... A glossary completes this valuable source of practical knowledge. (Tomorrow's Vet , 2011) Instruments are illustrated with instruction on their use. Step-by-step illustrations show the test for antibody or antigen in serum. Good color photographs show the various cell types in various stages. As before, the book is directed to the newcomer and is a solid, useful reference. (Vin Book Reviews, 27 July 2011) I recommend this book to any technician or veterinary student. It is better than the first edition. (Doody's, 3 June 2011)
