Basic Life Science Methods: A Laboratory Manual for Students and Researchers

Basic Life Science Methods: A Laboratory Manual for Students and Researchers presents forty of the most executed life science assays. The authors use a consistent structure to cover the preparation, execution and analysis of data from each method. Assays include estimation of cholesterol fractions, C-Reactive Protein, Genomic DNA isolation, Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, RT-PCR, DNA solution preparation, how to design primers, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This book provides a complete reference containing step-by-step instructions on how to run life science assays. Laboratory staff can also benefit of the book as a training resource.

• Provides a practical resource on designing, executing and analyzing experiments and analytical procedures

• Includes detailed and standardized coverage of basic research methods in the area

• Presents step-by-step instructions on how to execute a large selection of life sciences experiments
