To request a print copy, please contact us through the Evolve Support Center for further assistance or contact your Education Solutions Consultant.
Any student who attempts to request a review copy will be reported to the school's faculty and administration.
Not only does Clinical Chemistry: Fundamentals and Laboratory Techniques provide a clear understanding of pathophysiology and lab testing, it provides complete clinical chemistry coverage for your two-year MLT program! It prepares students for success as medical lab technicians by simplifying complex chemistry concepts and lab techniques including immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, and quality control. Using a pathophysiologic approach, Larson covers diseases that are commonly diagnosed through chemical tests — broken down by body system and category — such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular conditions. Ideal for students who may have minimal knowledge of chemistry, this full-color text includes complete resources to make teaching and learning easier.
