	Practical Flow Cytometry by: Howard M. Shapiro publisher: Wiley-Liss, published: 2003-03-14 ISBN: 0471411256 sales rank: 597041 Product Description From the reviews of the 3rd Edition? "The standard reference for anyone interested in understanding flow cytometry technology." -American Journal of Clinical Oncology "?one of the most valuable of its genre and?addressed to a wide audience?written in such an attractive way, being both informative and stimulating." -Trends in Cell Biology This reference explains the science and discusses the vast biomedical applications of quantitative analytical cytology using laser-activated detection and cell sorting. Now in its fourth edition, this text has been expanded to provide full coverage of the broad spectrum of applications in molecular biology and biotechnology today. New to this edition are chapters on automated analysis of array technologies, compensation, high-speed sorting, reporter molecules, and multiplex and apoptosis assays, along with fully updated and revised references and a list of suppliers. Review Skimmed it while loading samples as an undergrad researcher. From reading the intro, I guess previous editions actually showed you how to build your own flow cytometer. So for the uber-geek, older editions might be a great find. As for the newer edition, chock full of examples from peer review. Make sure you have a good background in instrumentation before picking it up. Shapiro's book tries to be everything to everyone and if there ever was a book that succeeded doing so, this is it. Fully referenced (1000's of references) like an academic paper; containing all the information and explanations, from physics principles and implementations; to chemical structures and properties; to biological models and considerations; to practical uses and applications. It also contains an historical introduction that not only adds perspective but also enormous insight into the field. The book is fairly long, and as such maybe is not the best place for absolute beginners in the field. Nonetheless, knowing as much, the author introduced a chapter that is a briefer introduction to the field, allowing beginners to gain an initial solid footing before delving deeper. Anyone who uses flow cytometry on a regular basis, and certainly anyone using flow cytometry as an important research or clinical method should have this book and read it. You can always skip the parts that might not interest you or that are less relevant. In fact, originally I intended to do so, but once you begin to read you can't stop, it's almost like a novel. The author's witty, down to earth and extremely clear prose makes it easier to follow the denser scientific parts and make plain enjoyable and funny the other parts. He even adds poetry and music, showing you what it is to get joy from science. Importantly, as you read and learn about so many fields and areas related to flow cytometry and cytometry in general, you emerge with a much broader understanding of scientific principles and whole areas of scientific knowledge that are of prime importance to any scientist. It expands your horizons and explains the connections and interplay between different disciplines. Yes, it is that good. Shapiro's book is also full with tips, short protocols, ideas and implementations that have proven to be incredibly helpful to my scientific work. The reason my reviews title is '(Flow) cytometry...' is that after finishing the book you have really gained insight and knowledge on cytometry in general and not only on flow cytometry. Finally, even if not read cover to cover, this book is the definitive reference for all things (flow) cytometry, and as such has a place of honor in any biologist's library. I am a medical doctor who oversees a flow cytometry clinical laboratory. I have always heard about Shapiro's flow cytometry textbook but had never reviewed it. After having done so, I can in all good consciousness say that this is one of the most poorly written books and one of the least organized. As a result, the few useful pieces of information in it are hard to find and certainly almost impossible to follow through because of his erratic style and thought flow process. My advice to anyone looking to get a basic flow cytometry book is to look elsewhere and do not make a mistake and buy this book.

	Flow Cytometry: First Principles by: Alice Longobardi Givan publisher: Wiley-Liss, published: 2001-07-23 ISBN: 0471382248 sales rank: 331580 Product Description Flow cytometry continually amazes scientists with its ever-expanding utility. Advances in flow cytometry have opened new directions in theoretical science, clinical diagnosis, and medical practice. The new edition of Flow Cytometry: First Principles provides a thorough update of this now classic text, reflecting innovations in the field while outlining the fundamental elements of instrumentation, sample preparation, and data analysis. Flow Cytometry: First Principles, Second Edition explains the basic principles of flow cytometry, surveying its primary scientific and clinical applications and highlighting state-of-the-art techniques at the frontiers of research. This edition contains extensive revisions of all chapters, including new discussions on fluorochrome and laser options for multicolor analysis, an additionalsection on apoptosis in the chapter on DNA, and new chapters onintracellular protein staining and cell sorting, including high-speed sorting and alternative sorting methods, as well as traditional technology. This essential resource: * Assumes no prior knowledge of flow cytometry * Progresses with an informal, engaging lecture style from simpleto more complex concepts * Offers a clear introduction to new vocabulary, principles of instrumentation, and strategies for data analysis * Emphasizes the theory relevant to all flow cytometry, with examples from a variety of clinical and scientific fields Flow Cytometry: First Principles, Second Edition provides scientists, clinicians, technologists, and students with the knowledge necessary for beginning the practice of flow cytometry and for understanding related literature. Review Good for beginners/non-speicialists who want to know general principles in flow cytometry. It's easy to read and understand. The book includes almost you need to know before starting flow cytometry. If anyone wants to broadly get the knowledge but not go into the detail of flow cytometry, it's a good choice. You probably can go through it in 1-2 days. "I consider it to be the best presentation of principles of flow cytometry. The text is clearly written, the figures are well chosen." -- Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, Brander Cancer Research Institute, New York Medical College

	Flow Cytometry for Biotechnology publisher: Oxford University Press, USA, published: 2005-09-02 ISBN: 0195152344 sales rank: 910594 Product Description Flow cytometry is a sensitive and quantitative platform for the measurement of particle fluorescence. In flow cytometry, the particles in a sample flow in single file through a focused laser beam at rates of hundreds to thousands of particles per second. During the time each particle is in the laser beam, on the order of ten microseconds, one or more fluorescent dyes associated with that particle are excited. The fluorescence emitted from each particle is collected through a microscope objective, spectrally filtered, and detected with photomultiplier tubes. Flow cytometry is uniquely capable of the precise and quantitative molecular analysis of genomic sequence information, interactions between purified biomolecules and cellular function. Combined with automated sample handling for increased sample throughput, these features make flow cytometry a versatile platform with applications at many stages of drug discovery. Traditionally, the particles studied are cells, especially blood cells; flow cytometry is used extensively in immunology. This volume shows how flow cytometry is integrated into modern biotechnology, dealing with issues of throughput, content, sensitivity, and high throughput informatics with applications in genomics, proteomics and protein-protein interactions, drug discovery, vaccine development, plant and reproductive biology, pharmacology and toxicology, cell-cell interactions and protein engineering.
