Editorial Review:
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 andaddressed to a wide audiencewritten 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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great
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.
Rating: - (Flow) Cytometry ultimate reference, textbook, methods and all (including poetry)
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. ... Read More
Rating:  - A Mistake to Buy
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Essential Book
"...there is no question that this is THE reference book on flow cytometry...You need this book if you use flow cytometry. Get it!" (Doody's Electronic Journal, October 25, 2003)
Rating: - Highly Recommended
"[Practical Flow Cytometry, Fourth Edition] is one of the best textbooks for graduate students interested in biomedical sciences ... if you can only have one book on flow cytometry, this has to be the one." -- J. Paul Robinson, Ph.D., Professor of Immunopharmacology and Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
