Opis

Along with this increase in knowledge has emerged new and advanced lab oratories performing unique techniques aimed at diagnosing and treatin g infertility problems. And as these laboratories expand, the need for properly trained technicians has also emerged. But while many ART lab s are staffed with biologists well trained in reproductive research te chniques, they lack the necessary skills to effectively manage these l abs. The Handbook of the Assisted Reproduction Laboratory addresses ma ny of the management issues and basic background information on reprod uctive biology and medicine needed by the technicians staffing and dir ecting these ART labs. Internationally recognized experts in the field discuss various topics in this handbook.
