As a molecular technologist studying for the ASCP BOC exam for molecular technologist certification, this book serves as an excellent revision tool. Not only does it cover the basic concepts of molecular biology and techniques used in the lab, but also includes nice diagramatic representations, troubleshooting, advanced concepts, case studies and study questions for each section. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to take the ASCP certification exam or brush up on their knowledge of molecular biology in the clinical lab.

This book is an author's best effort to collect disparate topics under one cover. Molecular diagnostics is a new field and there are really only two other books covering the area by co-authors Coleman and Tsongalis. Buckingham's is slightly better, as it appears to be written by one author, who co-ordinates all the content and the index. Coleman and Tsongalis serve only as editors to their books and the chapters, written by various authors, happen to represent the authors' specialties rather than contributing to a unified text. The indexes in the latter two books are sparse and do not coordinate with the content of the chapters. Nor do the figures, critical to the understanding of complicated techniques and assays, coordinate with the text of the chapters. Buckingham, however, does have a better index (not great) and her figures are text driven, rather than copied and pasted as available. A major drawback of Buckingham is the lack of proof reading, as it is full of errors and typos. Another issue is that the study questions might have written by somebody else, since some of the answers contradict or are not consistent with the material presented in the chapters. My worry as I study for the ASCP molecular biology exam is the errors which I am not aware of.
