Rev. ed. of: Introduction to medical laboratory technology. 6th ed. 1985.

Now in its seventh edition, the text has been thoroughly revised by a new team of subject specialists under the expert guidance of the original editors. The traditional approach of previous editions has been deliberately retained. It is recognised that although the field of biomedical sciences is changing rapidly the fundamental knowledge required by the laboratory worker has altered little.

An appreciation of the correct approach to practical problems and an understanding of the limitations of laboratory methods is essential. The increasing reversion of medical laboratories to multidisciplinary work makes this new edition a timely publication. Baker & Silverton's Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology will be particularly welcomed by trainees and their tutors as a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of work in medical laboratories.
