The classic reference, A Guide to Specimen Management in Clinical Microbiology, caters to the needs of individuals involved in the “total testing process.” It offers comprehensive information on the microbiology laboratory’s specific requirements for specimen management, serving as the sole reference for the necessary policies to ensure accurate, relevant, and clinically significant laboratory results. Medical, nursing, and medical technology students, as well as practicing physicians, private practice offices, clinical laboratories, and public health laboratories, can rely on this resource for guidance on specimen selection, collection, transport, storage procedures, specimen requirements rationale, and effective communication between the laboratory and its clients.
