Standard Laboratory Procedures for Hematology

Description

This "Standard Laboratory Procedures for Hematology" handbook is not a textbook but a technical document. It was created for laboratory technicians in the hematology laboratory and residents and postgraduate students in hematopathology. The textbooks should provide the pathology students with a strong theoretical understanding of hematology, and they should then refer to this handbook for practical, hands-on tasks. The techniques used often for hematological examinations can be followed step-by-step in this book. Most processes were streamlined in the age of automation and were done in no time. Nevertheless, it is important to remember the value of manual processes, particularly in smaller labs in underdeveloped countries. The most crucial technique in hematooncology is still the bone marrow examination. This edition has a particular emphasis on the collecting and processing of bone marrow specimens. While malaria may not be an issue for Western and wealthy nations, it presents a significant threat to the nations of tropical Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent. For counting the density of malarial parasites, a chapter has been included.
