The Short Textbook of Medical Laboratory for Technicians briefly discusses the techniques in simple and easy-to-understand language on microbiology, hematology, immunology, histopathology, blood transfusion, clinical pathology and clinical biochemistry. These are compiled under headings: name of technique, principle, requirements, procedure, and results-cum-interpretation. The introductory chapters make the book more useful to average laboratory workers. New materials like autoanalyzer, biological safety cabinet, Wood’s lamp, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), bone marrow aspiration/bone marrow biopsy, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), disposal of waste products, etc. are added.
