2nd Edition
by Melissa Andrasik-Catton, Brianne Bellwood
Practical, quick reference to laboratory test procedures routinely used in the veterinary setting
The Second Edition of Veterinary Technician’s Handbook of Laboratory Procedures
provides a significant update and expansion to the First Edition, with
larger and better-quality images, more images overall, and significant
updates to information and equipment throughout.
New
chapters cover topics such as microbiology and parasitology, and the
Second Edition newly covers quality assurance in the introductory
chapter as well.
Now encompassing topics in all areas
of clinical pathology, the book covers procedures in hematology,
clinical chemistry, urinalysis, microbiology, parasitology, serology,
and cytology. A companion website features case studies, crossword
puzzles, figures from the book in PowerPoint, and additional figures not
found in the book.
In Veterinary Technician’s Handbook of Laboratory Procedures, readers can expect to find helpful information on:
- Laboratory equipment, covering microscopes, centrifuges, refractometers, and chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analyzers
- Blood
analysis, covering proper blood collection and handling techniques,
blood collection tubes, blood smear preparation and staining, and
hematology procedures
- Urinalysis procedures including the physical, chemical and sediment examination
- Cytology
sample collection and smear preparation, covering the feather, line,
squash, modified squash, and starfish methods, plus microscopic
evaluation of cytology slides
- Identification of parasites, covering internal and external, plus protozoans
A helpful guide when performing many common laboratory tests and an excellent companion to full textbooks, Veterinary Technician’s Handbook of Laboratory Procedures
is equally useful for veterinary technicians in training and in
practice and has been carefully formatted and written to put the
information veterinary technicians need at their fingertips.
