Plant Chromosomes: Laboratory Methods thoroughly covers all important approaches to the study of plant chromosomes. It reviews each specific approach and describes requisite experimental techniques. These practical descriptions cover basic, standard techniques as well as the most recent research advances and state-of-the-art technologies. Plant Chromosomes: Laboratory Methods allows...

Investigating the Earth System provides a modern approach to teaching undergraduate, introductory-level Earth Science and Physical Geology laboratories with the aim of creating science-savvy citizens capable and willing to make informed decisions about key environmental issues, including where to live. To achieve this end, the manual integrates three novel design elements while still covering traditional topics such as rock and mineral identification, surface and subsurface water resources, and...

The first comprehensive guide to modern laboratory planning in ten years to address both construction and operating aspects. Many of the 30 authors are affiliated with the European Association for Sustainable Laboratory Technologies (EGNATON), which has also endorsed this ready reference. This expert team covers the entire lifecycle of a laboratory facility, starting with the site layout and the planning of the building, followed by the planning of such areas as housing for laboratory animals,...

While the theoretical basis of centrifugal separation remains the same, recent years have seen dramatic changes in both the design of centrifuges and the range of people that use them. This study is designed to reflect these changes by providing detailed protocols covering all types of separation, from DNA to cells. Guidelines are also given to help researchers devise new types of separation protocols. The book includes program source codes for calculation and simulation programs that are benefi...

With the advent of recombinant DNA techniques, an increasing number of proteins are being expressed in sufficient quantities to be crystallized for X-ray diffraction analysis. At the same time, the efficient handling of data required to analyze diffraction data from macromolecules and graphics capabilities to display structures obtained from this analysis are also advancing. Consequently, huge numbers of new macromolecular models, especially protein models derived from X-ray crystallographic ana...

This title includes explanations of key practical techniques. Useful reference to help in preparing for and carrying out practicals, it offers guidence on practicals, fieldwork and statistics in a single volume. Helping with planning of work and analysis of results, it includes coverage of the essential rules governing safety in the Laboratory and in the field. It also provides help for students in preparing for the modular examinations.

Compiled by the editor of Dekker’s distinguished Chromatographic Science series, this reader-friendly reference is as a unique and stand-alone guide for anyone requiring clear instruction on the most frequently utilized analytical instrumentation techniques. More than just a catalog of commercially available instruments, the chapters are written from the standpoint of instrumentation as it is in use today, with an introductory description of the technique(s) and a theoretical treatment of the sc...

This laboratory manual is designed for use in introductory biotechnology courses. Experiments are constructed in a modular fashion, lending this book both to the traditional semester course and the shorter intensive course. Its main objective is to expose students to the basic research protocols used in molecular biology and biochemistry labs. This text covers techniques in detail and teaches students to culture and transform bacteria, grow vector plasmids, purify insert DNA, ligate vector and i...
