Teitz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry & Molecular Diagnostics

During the last few years, new results of biomedical research and new developments in biotechnology have changed traditional orientations in medical sciences. Teitz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry and Molecular Diagnostics, is an authoritative textbook that provides a current and comprehensive review. The new edition has eight new chapters on Molecular Diagnostics, a change reflected in amending the previous title “Teitz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry” to the new title “Teitz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry and Molecular Diagnostics”. The present edition also has new chapters on Nanotechnology, Microfabrication, Point of Care Testing and Introduction to Evidence Based Lab Medicine. Nanotechnology research and development includes research at the nanoscale and integration of nanoscale structures into larger components and systems. Microfabrication promises many advantages including economy of scale, easy operation and reliability of instrumentation. Including such upcoming topics in this textbook gives definite advantage to the readers. There has been significant regrouping of chapters and introducing room for additional information based on latest research. The new edition reflects the continuing maturity of an excellent textbook.
