Dear Saleh,
There are lots of flow books around, I am not sure if there are any
specifically recommended for the exam.
For Leukaemia/Lymphoma panels I would recommend the "Atlas of
Investigation and Diagnosis"
"Lymphoid malignancies" authors Matutes, Bain and Wotherspoon.
Distributed in the USA by Clinical Publishing.
This covers all laboratory aspects of Lymphoid leukaemia diagnosis
including Flow plots an panels as well as pictures of morphology,
histopathology cytogenetics and fish.
Best wishes.
Ricardo.

Dear Flowers,


We have people in our lab who are interested in taking the flow
cytometry certification exam through ASCP.

Our lab is a clinical testing lab and our assays are specific for our
clinical trial needs. We do not do

leukemia/lymphoma markers HIV testing or any type of testing done in a
hospital flow lab. I imagine the exam would
having questions specific to this type of testing. 
In order to prepare, I was wondering if people had book
recommendations.
Also information on
what a typical leukemia/lymphoma panel might look like, HIV panels,
case
studies, examples of DNA and DNA
ploidy in relation to prognosis. Any information would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
