Molecular Diagnostics

This Book Taught Me Everything. “This book gave me my foundation in biochemistry lab diagnostics. I 100% recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the different procedures…like (nucleic acid purification, nucleic acid amplification, expression testing, etc...)”— Ana, Online Reviewer Good book for CLS/MLT students. “Loved this book, I had the previous editions for college for my CLS/MTL classes. The book explains a lot and in great detail. Bought it again because I rented the other one and wanted a hard copy to study for the board.”— A.Y.Z.C., Online Reviewer Build the foundation for classroom and professional success. Meet the challenges of this rapidly expanding field with a solid understanding of the fundamentals of nucleic acid biochemistry as well as the advanced concepts integral to practice in today’s laboratories. With a focus on the application of molecular concepts to the diagnosis of disease, this popular resource encompasses microbiology, virology, genetics, oncology, and human identification. Inside, you’ll find in-depth explanations of the principles of molecular-based assays as well as reference material and trouble-shooting tips for the laboratory. Discussions of general diagnostic procedures prepare you to adapt to the emergence of new diagnostic technologies. New, Updated & Expanded! Incorporating advances in science and clinical practice and newer technologies and techniques New! Expanded descriptions of human identification for application to parentage testing, chimerism analysis, ancestry testing, and genetic genealogy Updated & Expanded! Coverage of basic genetics and DNA, proteins, cell function, managing and analyzing DNA data, next generation sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, primer designs, and more. New! Streamlined organization and a full-color design and art program to make often challenging concepts and techniques easier to understand New & Updated! Critical-Thinking Case Studies and Lab Exercises online Coverage of the application of molecular diagnostics to the clinical laboratory encompasses microbiology, virology, genetics, oncology, and human identification. “Advanced Concepts” challenge those interested in a higher level of learning. “Case Studies” in the clinical chapters show students how to apply molecular concepts to diagnostic testing. Study Questions at the end of each chapter (with answers in the Appendix) mirror the ASCP certification exam’s style.

Five Stars. "Best book available if you want to learn about molecular techniques applied to clinical pathology." - Ruben A., Amazon Reviewer Five Stars. "Easy read. helped me to pass ASCP molecular bio certification exam." - Amazon Reviewer The only book you need to become certified. "Excellent book, full of details and clinical information. In addition, it describes very complexed concepts in a very easy way to understand including comprehensive diagrams." - Ruben G., Amazon Reviewer MB(ASCP) must read. "This is a must read for those laboratory professionals trying to advance their knowledge in molecular diagnostics especially for those people taking the MB(ASCP) exam. Sure it helped me pass the exam." - JR, Amazon Reviewer Meet the challenges of this rapidly expanding field: Molecular diagnostics continues to grow in importance in the clinical laboratory. This respected text will prepare your students with a grounding in the fundamental principles of molecular biology. current methods, and their clinical applications. With a focus on the application of molecular concepts to diagnostic purposes, the text explains and illustrate the use and interpretation of molecular-based assays in patient care. Now with an expanded discussion of nucleic acid sequencing, with added emphasis on next generation sequencing (NGS), and updated coverage of proteomics and mass spectrometry applications, your students will have the most current information available today.
