This powerhouse bundle brings a world of knowledge and learning to your fingertips through two books: Technical Manual, 22nd edition, and Transfusion Medicine Self-Assessment and Review, 4th edition.

If there is such a thing as a must-have resource, the Technical Manual would be it. In this edition, 31 chapters and 100+ methods/appendices provide valuable content for newcomers as well as seasoned professionals alike. The full spectrum of transfusion medicine and cellular therapies is detailed: quality and regulatory issues, component collection/preparation, laboratory testing, and clinical practice (including special situations, patients, and outcomes). Additionally, this edition captures key Association Bulletins issued within weeks of release. Other notable updates:

First-ever chapter on practice in LMIC countries.
New chapter on adverse reactions to cellular therapies.
New chapter dedicated to hemostasis and coagulation.
New chapter on regulatory issues in cellular therapies.

The methods and appendices are once again posted online at no extra cost. Purchasers of the print edition will find an access code to the online content in the book itself, and the digital edition includes methods/appendices as ancillary files to the chapters. Because the Technical Manual is such a good text for those just about to begin their careers, the AABB is happy to offer student pricing.

For print buyers, the Methods and Appendices are available online. Just look for the URL location printed at the beginning of the "Contents Online" section (page xxii) of the book's Table of Contents.
