Handbook of Flow Cytometry Methods: Lab. Comments This is one of the most widely used books in the lab, and while in some areas it lacks a little detail, this is not the major purpose of this text. Rather this text is an extremely useful "cookbook" of flow methods. Recommended as a starting point for experimental proceedures you are unfamiliar with. The editor is available via email should additional advice be required, and he has in the past proved more than helpful.
