Atlas Of Comparative Diagnostic And Experimental Haematology 2E

Key features:

• New chapter on flow cytometry and its application in terms of routine analyses as a means of identifying abnormalities in cell marker expression, which is of particular relevance for pre-clinical safety assessment
• Covers the most recent developments in laboratory animal hematology, including parameters measured by the latest generation of analyzers
• Coverage of a wide range of laboratory animal species, as well as those used in clinical veterinary trials
• Photomicrographs present normal and abnormal blood cells from a variety of hematological conditions along with descriptive text
