ASCP requirement. “To pass the ASCP and become a licensed medical lab tech, this text is the ultimate blood bank source for the required classes.”―Amazon Reviewer Great resource for anyone in a Medical Technology or Medical Laboratory Science Program! I would highly recommend this book!”―Mary L., Amazon Reviewer “Amazing legendary book in the field. Helpful for practicing Transfusion Medicine and Hematology.” ―Zubair S., Amazon Reviewer Join the generations of students who have embarked on successful careers with a firm foundation in the theory and practice of blood banking and transfusion practices. Denise Harmening’s classic text teaches you not only how to perform must-know tests and tasks, but to understand the scientific principles behind them. You’ll begin with a review of the basic concepts of red blood cell and platelet preservation, genetics, immunology, and molecular biology. Then you’ll move to the hows and whys of clinical practice. And, you’ll be prepared for new advances in the field.

Dr. Harmening has been in the field of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine for over 25 years. Her research in red cell and platelet preservation has led to seven patents. Dr. Harmening’s original research dealt with the use of solid time-released buffering systems for the storage of red cells and platelets. Her current research focuses on CD34+ stem cells isolated from cord blood, and she was the first to investigate the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 on untreated and CD34-selected umbilical cord blood.
In the future, Dr. Harmening would like to expand and improve her current publications and venture into new areas of writing.
