Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource

This book is an excellent resource if you're studying for the SBB exam. Along with the AABB technical manual, you have a wealth of knowledge and experience covering every topic with easy to read detail.

Excellent Book!

Well written and easy to understand. This is probably one of the better blood banking books out there. Harmening does a good job explaing things.

Does its job pretty well

For beginning blood bankers this is quite a valuable textbook. The topics covered are comprehensive in knowledge and fairly well organized. Like all textbooks that are written by multiple authors, some chapters are more difficult to follow than others, but I believe Mrs. Harmening did a commendable job editing the book. Overall, a very good book for students.

The Harmening books which span more than twenty years in the making are without question the best source of transfusion medicine practices on the market today. Content areas include genetics, molecular biology, blood groups, antibody identification, transfusion transmitted diseases, hemolytic disease of the newborn, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, etc... Contributors are experts in their field providing a wealth of knowledge to the blood banking student and transfusion medicine fellow. Every blood bank should buy this book!! Virginia C.

Great!!!

Comprehensive, precise covering from basics to applications, and from both theoretical and modern technical view point. Frequest figures and tables help me understand each topic a lot. I also like review questions and case studies at the end of each chapter. This book is a book I always reach for my immunohaematology studies at university.
