Practical Flow Cytometry, 3rd Edition

ISBN 0-471-30376-3 | 1994 | 588 pages; cloth

The new Third Edition of the standard in the field - updated, expanded, and improved!

Praise for the Second Edtion:

"Clinicians and research scientists should request that this book be on the shelf in every hospital and medical school library as the one reference to have on the subject - the standard reference for anyone interested in understanding flow cytometry technology."
American Journal of Clinical Oncology

"An excellent "nuts and bolts" book. . . . should become an important part of the library of scientists and clinicians interested in flow cytometry."
Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

"A valuable, entertaining, and practical addition to the laboratory involved in any aspect of flow cytometry."
Journal of the National Cancer Institute

" . . . a "must" for all flow cytometrists. Beginners will find it invaluable, and even the most experienced investigators will find much that is stimulating, useful, and provocative."
Cytometry

Ever since its initial publication in 1984, Practical Flow Cytometry has been widely praised as the definitive resource on the technology and applications of flow cytometry in research and clinical medicine. What cytometry is, how it works, how data are obtained and interpreted, and how the techniques are applied in a wide range of settings - all this and much more are thoroughly explained in the newly revised, expanded, and updated Third Edition.

Throughout this hugely practical book, Dr. Shapiro presents an authoritative "nuts and bolts" approach to the subject, providing an extensive mine of new information not available in any other source. The science underlying flow cytometry and the technical instrumentation have never been explained more clearly or engagingly - all in the author's unique style that speaks to both expert and novice alike.

Among the Third Edition's highlights:

• Extensive new illustrations, including a new 8-page color section
• Over 2300 references, including 1200 new references to other flow cytometry manuals and primary literature
• Expanded coverage of the technical bases and details of flow cytometry
• Details on new molecular, cellular, and functional probes
• Expanded coverage of applications of flow cytometry, including measurement and content analysis, cell identification and immunophenotyping, and clinical applications in hematology, immunology, and oncology
