- Covers the major divisions of the medical technology (clinical laboratory science) certification examinations: hematology, immunology, immunohematology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, body fluids, and education and management
- Detailed rationales explain why one answer is correct and the others incorrect; correct answer and rationale appear on the same page as the question; and each question is followed by a test item classification
- 200 full-color photomicrographs (50 in the text, over 150 on the CD-ROM) provide identification practice
- Expanded hemostasis content includes more coverage of thrombophilias and anticoagulant therapy
- New unit on tumor markers provides up-to-date coverage of new FDA approved tests
- New molecular diagnostics chapter includes an overview of basic principles with thorough explanations that serve as an introduction to the field
- Problem-solving section in each chapter
- A FREE CD-ROM with over 850 additional questions and three test-taking options: choose the preset photomicrograph exam or "mock" exam, or use the test bank to customize your review
