Presented in a user-friendly format, this book provides a pocket-sized guide full of tips and advice on everything first year bioscience students need to know to achieve practical success in the laboratory. From how to prepare reagents and master techniques to analyzing data through worked examples and presenting findings, this guide is comprehensive and accessible for when it is needed most: at the bench. It covers the core bioscience techniques, includes diagrams and worked examples, as well as a glossary, and links to a companion website with additional material.
This unique, practical, pocket-sized guide and reference provides every first year bioscience student with all they need to know to prepare reagents correctly and perform fundamental laboratory techniques. It also helps them to analyse their data and present their findings, in addition to directing the reader, via a comprehensive list of references, to relevant further reading
All of the core bioscience laboratory techniques are covered including: basic calculations and the preparation of solutions; aseptic techniques; microscopy techniques; cell fractionation ; spectrophotometry; chromatography of small and large molecules: electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids and data analysis. In addition the book includes clear, relevant diagrams and worked examples of calculations.
In short, this is a 'must-have' for all first year bioscience students struggling to get to grips with this vitally important element of their course.
