Main description:

In this new edition, most of the diagrammatic figures have been replaced by real images in Qualitative Analysis and Spotters sections - this will definitely impart a realistic feeling of learning qualitative tests. More questions have been added to the Spotters section.

The book has been organized in an examination-oriented manner. Usually, students have to go through four or five modes of practical examinations with specific intentions. Hence, the contents of the book are organized accordingly, to facilitate the learning process and preparation for the practical examination.

The section on qualitative analysis provides comprehensive analysis of different tests in order to impart a grasp of concepts to learners.
The section on quantitative analysis enables students to master estimation experiments. The various aspects such as different methods, reference ranges and interpretations of each item will help to achieve this.
The section on charts improves critical thinking, an essential quality for any doctor or scientist. This section contains 54 clinically-oriented questions with answers to reinforce the information tested by the questions.
The section on spotters sharpens the abruptness, a skill to be attained by a medical professional. More than 100 spotters are included to serve this purpose.
The section on objective structured practical examination (OSPE) questions improves the clarity of practical work, this section also contains model OSPE questions for practice. This section will definitely boost the confidence of students to face OSPE.
The chapters on experiments contain sub-section questions to improve comprehension and also sub-section Reagent Preparation, which is useful for students to understand the ingredients of various reagents and for the laboratory staff to prepare reagents required for different experiments.
