Synopses & Reviews
This book gives a profound overview on the relevant biochemical techniques. Moreover, it refers to laboratory equipment and safety aspects and explains how to obtain relevant biochemical information. It provides an introduction into physical-chemical processes and mathematical methods required for the interpretation of data. Principles of expensive instrumental analysis are also explained and a presentation of safety considerations and regulatory issues according to international requirements is given.
With its practical approach the book is not only highly useful for professionals - laboratory technicians and scientists - but also for students.
Special feature: a CD-ROM on quantitative analysis of biochemical experiments!

Synopsis
Das Buch gibt einen hervorragenden berblick ber relevante biochemische Methoden, die heute fester Bestandteil eines jeden biologischen/biomedizinischen Labors sind. Es wird auch auf Laborausr stung sowie auf Sicherheitsfragen eingegangen und erl utert, wie man zu aussagekr ftiger biochemischer Information kommt. Es f hrt in physikalisch/chemische Prozesse ein und pr sentiert mathematische Modelle zur Interpretation von Daten. Ferner werden Prinzipien aufwendiger instrumenteller Analytik erkl rt sowie regulatorische und Sicherheitsaspekte pr sentiert.
Mit seinem ausgesprochen praxisorientierten Ansatz ist das Buch insbesondere f r Praktiker - vor allem Laborassistenten und nicht zuletzt die Wissenschaftler selbst - sehr geeignet, aber auch f r Studenten.
Mit CD-ROM zur quantitativen Auswertung biochemischer Experimente
