Hundred of books concerning medical- and research-based laboratory science—as well as laboratory informatics—have been published over the past several decades. As such, it's difficult to make specific recommendations, at least without context. However, professional organizations are quite proficient in making such recommendations through their reading libraries and accreditation programs. For example, the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science maintains a [https://www.csmls.org/csmls/media/documents/certification/CEXM-359-F2-Textbook-Reference-List-General-Medical-Laboratory-Technology.pdf three-page list] of reference textbooks that are useful for their Medical Laboratory Technologist examination. The American Society for Clinical Pathology has its own [https://store.ascp.org/ publication division], with more than 60 in-house books published on various elements of pathology and laboratory science. The American Association for Clinical Chemistry has [https://www.aacc.org/publications/books-and-multimedia a similar library]. | |||

Books
Hundred of books concerning medical- and research-based laboratory science—as well as laboratory informatics—have been published over the past several decades. As such, it's difficult to make specific recommendations, at least without context. However, professional organizations are quite proficient in making such recommendations through their reading libraries and accreditation programs. For example, the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science maintains a three-page list of reference textbooks that are useful for their Medical Laboratory Technologist examination. The American Society for Clinical Pathology has its own publication division, with more than 60 in-house books published on various elements of pathology and laboratory science. The American Association for Clinical Chemistry has a similar library.
