Quantification and the Quest for Medical Certainty
by J Rosser Mathews
With the latest advances in analytical technologies, most biological products can now be extensively characterized in terms of their identity, heterogeneity and impurity profile. The currently available analytical methods (both physicochemical and biological) can characterize the primary, secondary and to some extent, the higher order structure of proteins. The sensitivity and selectivity of these methods allow for the identification and characterization not only of the desired protein component...
Ultrathin Electrochemical Chemo- and Biosensors (Springer Series on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors, #2)
Traditional biological sensors, based on enzymatic receptors and potentiometric or amperometric transducers are well reviewed and are nowadays even included extensively in many textbooks. The editors of this volume, the 2nd in the new Springer Series on Chemical and Biosensors, have focussed exclusively on alternative types of chemical and biological sensors or sensor-like structures. Special attention is given to sensor principles based on the use of linear or non-linear impedance spectroscopy...
Membrane Transport (Practical Approach, #230)
Membrane Transport is targeted towards researchers with an interest in the mechanism of solute transport across biological membranes. Its scope is broad, ranging from the techniques required to study transport itself, through the expression, purification and reconstitution of transporters, to techniques for investigation of their structures. As such, it not only proves the necessary technical grounding for newcomers to the field, but should also be of value to "old-hands" wishing to get up to...
Essential Molecular Biology: v. 1 (A Practical Approach, #81)
Like most scientific disciplines, the techniques for studying genes and DNA are complicated and difficult for the novice to understand. This book provides an introduction to practical molecular biology and is aimed specifically at students and other research workers who have no prior experience of the subject. In this part of the volume the fundamental techniques for handling and cloning DNA are described, with the emphasis on sound technical instruction, together with theoretical background and...
Laboratory Quality Standards and Their Implementation
Enzyme Assays (Essential Data S.)
by Sheraz Gul, etc., Suneal K. Sreedharan, and Keith Brocklehurst
Enzyme Assays S. Gul, S.K. Sreedharan and K. Brocklehurst The development of an assay procedure by which the course of a particular enzyme--catalyzed reaction may be monitored is an essential preliminary step in virtually all experimental studies on the enzyme. This book summarizes the key principles underlying enzyme assays, including assay design and the evaluation of experimental data. It provides details of and references to the major physico--chemical techniques commonly used in enzymology....
Reflecting current understanding of the complexities of sexual activity among persons with chronic mental illness, the text draws upon the collective wisdom and experience of experts from a variety of settings. Clinicians, advocates, consumers, researchers, legal experts, and administrators all contribute to document the concerns about sexual behavior and the consequent health risks for this at-risk population. The research presented here is particularly timely in view of recent emphases on pati...
Theorie und Praxis klaffen im Studium von Biologie, Chemie, Medizin oder Pharmazie vor allem im Hinblick auf die Einarbeitung in die Labor-Routine zunachst weit auseinander. Dieser Leitfaden bietet eine praxisnahe und erprobte Anleitung zum sicheren Beherrschen grundlegender Methoden und Techniken im Labor. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bildet das Thema "Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz." Behandelt werden u.a. folgende Inhalte: Wie setzt man exakt eingestellte Loesungen an?Was bedeutet Gefassjustierung...

A Guide to Specimen Management in Clinical Microbiology
by J Michael Miller and Shelley A. Miller
The face of infectious diseases has changed since the second edition of A Guide to Specimen Management in Clinical Microbiology was published in 1999. Despite improved surveillance and vaccinations, tens of millions of people visit physicians annually for a possible microbial or parasitic infection. Identifying the infectious agent in a patient remains a top priority, and proper identification begins with careful collection, appropriate packaging and transport, and responsible reporting of patie...
In a startling departure from the unquestioning liberal consensus that has governed discussions of nationalism for the past quarter century, Marx exposes the hidden underside of Western nationalism. Arguing that the true history of the nation began two hundred years earlier, in the early modern era, he shows how state builders set about deliberately constructing a sense of national solidarity to support their burgeoning authority. Key to this process was the transfer of power from local to centr...
In der 5. Auflage dieses bewahrten Laborhandbuches werden molekularbiologische Methoden in Form von reproduzierbaren Arbeitsvorschriften prasentiert. Es richtet sich an Studierende der Biowissenschaften und an Technische Assistenten im medizintechnischen Labor, die neue Methoden etablieren wollen, sowie an erfahrene Wissenschaftler zum schnellen Nachschlagen. Besonderer Wert wurde auf Sicherheitshinweise und das Aufzeigen von Fehlerquellen gelegt. Damit ist dieses Buch wiederum ein unverzichtbar...
Complement in Laboratory Medicine
Laboratory Safety Management discusses issues raised in the safety management of a laboratory and provides practical tools and advice towards controlling or resolving these issues. The focus is mainly on research laboratories, although much of the information provided applies to production laboratories.
Affinity and Immunoaffinity (Study Paper/Law Commission,, #5)
by Terry M Phillips and Benjamin F Dickens
Research in the area of chemical and biochemical sensors and the development of respective applications is still growing rapidly. This book aims at instructing researcher and practitioners in both disciplines in a strictly systematic, interdisciplinary and practice-oriented way about the basic technology of chemical and biochemical sensors. This concise volume bridges the gap between the different "ways of thinking" in chemistry, physics and engineering. It provides a firm grounding for engineer...
