This book is great. It is easy to read and understand. This is probably the best text book for the Medical Laboratory Technology field I have ever owned. I wish there were more like it for the other areas of the lab.

I ordered this book based on one persons review. I am glad that I did. This book is excellent, only read first chapter. It appears to be well written, understandable and easy to follow. I only wished that we used this text last semester when I took the course.

Required text for Clinical Lab science BS, great price and reference text. Thorough and informative, great selection to prepare for certification.

Excellent book. This is a very helpful and thorough book. Good basic review. Can be use in any lab work

Did not care for all the procedure. Note that the authors are not PhD.

Good book, Good condition

It a book.
