Production of basic diagnostic laboratory reagents
A collection of over 100 procedures and manufacturing recipes for the production of simple basic reagents for health laboratory services.The manual aims to encourage the local production of reagents and thus helps countries reduce their dependence on foreign sources.The book has 10 chapters.The first two offer guidance on the essential equipment and procedures needed in a production unit for laboratory reagents.Information ranges from advice on the safe disposal of chemicals,through a review of methods for purifying water,to a drawing illustrating the correct assembly of equipment for the preparation standards buffers.The remaining chapters,which constitute the core of the manual,describe production procedures in the following areas:Reagents and methods for clinical chemistry Reagents for dry chemistry tests for urine and stool analysis Reagents and methods for heamatology and coagulation Stains for heamatology microbiology and parasitology Quality assurance and quality control of ingredients for microbiological culture media Reagents for microbiology Reagents for immunology Annexed to the manual is an example of a manufacturing recipe for albumin reagent,followed by lists showing the names and addresses of useful organizations and companies supplying chemicals and biochemicals A collection of over 100 procedures and manufacturing recipes for the production of simple basic reagents for health laboratory services.The manual aims to encourage the local production of reagents and thus helps countries reduce their dependence on foreign sources.The book has 10 chapters.The first two offer guidance on the essential equipment and procedures needed in a production unit for laboratory reagents.Information ranges from advice on the safe disposal of chemicals,through a review of methods for purifying water,to a drawing illustrating the correct assembly of equipment for the preparation standards buffers.The remaining chapters,which constitute the core of the manual,describe production procedures in the following areas:Reagents and methods for clinical chemistry Reagents for dry chemistry tests for urine and stool analysis Reagents and methods for heamatology and coagulation Stains for heamatology microbiology and parasitology Quality assurance and quality control of ingredients for microbiological culture media Reagents for microbiology Reagents for immunology Annexed to the manual is an example of a manufacturing recipe for albumin reagent,followed by lists showing the names and addresses of useful organizations and companies supplying chemicals and biochemicals

Blood grouping reagents:preparation and application methods
Increased efforts are being made to develop blood transfusion services in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (WHO/EMR)in order to attain self-reliance in the supply of blood,blood components and blood products,based on voluntary,regular,non-remunerate blood donation.Self-reliance should also be extended to include local production of basic reagents.Among important reagents required for blood transfusion services,and which could be prepared locally at a country level,are those used in routine grouping and cross-matching of blood,and in routine screening and identification of antibodies

The TOC for the first is here:

What reagents on that list do you think would be most useful or "primary"?
