Riassunto:

Clear and accessible, this text addresses the fundamental knowledge and skills you need to work in a blood-banking laboratory. It integrates basic theory - genetics, immunology, and immunohematology - then adds practical, problem-solving exercises. Clinical scenarios and critical thinking exercises help you apply basic concepts to modern transfusion and blood-bank settings.

• Experienced authors offer a practical "in the trenches" view of life in the laboratory.
• A clinical application focus relates concepts to practice and offers examples of using theoretical information in the laboratory setting.
• Coverage of quality control assurance and regulatory issues includes the "whys" in both reagents and equipment.
• An entire chapter is devoted to basic genetics and immunology coverage.
• Blood group systems are described in easy-to-follow, student-friendly terms.
• Illustrations and tables help you understand critical information.
• A two-color design brightens the text and makes it more reader-friendly.
• Chapter outlines, review questions, learning objectives, and key terms are included in each chapter, highlighting and reinforcing important material.
• Critical Thinking exercises ask you to draw conclusions based on a case study.
• Chapter summaries include a paragraph, table, or box of the essential information.

• NEW information reflects changes in the field, including:
• Different types of DNA testing and uses
• Automation impact and issues
• Latest donor criteria from the AABB and the FDA
• Hepatitis C and HIV NAT testing
• West Nile testing
• Bacterial contamination statistics and prevention
• Bone marrow transplant blood use
• Peripheral stem cell collection
• Cord blood collection and use
• More case studies, examples, and flow charts in the Antibody Detection and Identification chapter help to illustrate principles and practices.
• Margin Notes are added throughout to reinforce key terms and procedures.
• More review questions are added for thorough and efficient self-assessment.
• Expanded Evolve resources include web links, ArchieMD animations, and additional study questions
