Book Description

Publication Date: June 22, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0792364724 | ISBN-13: 978-0792364726 | Edition: 2nd

The first edition of this manual appeared in 1992 and was entitled ECAT Assay Procedures. This completely revised new edition combines the strengths of the first edition with new and useful features. Laboratory Techniques in Thrombosis - a Manual still gives detailed descriptions of the recommended assays and their alternatives. However, the manual now has a broader scope because it is no longer limited by the frontiers of ECAT. Experts all over the world have contributed to this edition. Furthermore, new assays have been introduced, improvements have been suggested for other assays, while a few others have become redundant or no longer available. The list of manufacturers is fully updated and a list of the recommended nomenclature of quantities in thrombosis and haemostasis is new to this edition, further facilitating the use of this manual. Laboratory Techniques in Thrombosis - a Manual will contribute to furthering the much needed harmonization and standardization of tests within the field and should have a place in all working haemostasis laboratories.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`The objective towards standardization is largely met, since world experts on each assay collaborated to evaluate and compare the available methodologies and point to the advantages and disadvantages of each one. This book is written for clinical thrombosis and hemostasis laboratorians. Another attractive feature is the degree of expertise recruited to produce these critical summaries of existing methodologies. This book is a long overdue update of the first edition in view of the multitude of newly developed methodologies and the number of manufacturers involved.' Demetra D.
