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

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.
