FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMENTATION, 2 ND EDITION

Interdisciplinary knowledge is becoming more and more important to modern scientists. Bioanalytical techniques are the integrated techniques used in biological sciences and analytical chemistry. These methods are widely used in forensic science, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and pharmaceutical science. Nowadays, most of the students face heavy burden of curriculum and lack of thoughtful, structured and authentic information, which make them look forward for a textbook with comprehensive knowledge. The second edition of the book Fundamentals of Bioanalytical Techniques and Instrumentation will fulfill the expectation of the students. With the special attention to application part, the book now deals with the basics of biotechnology, including preparation of solutions, extraction, separation, biochemical analysis and spectroscopic characterisation of different classes of biomolecules, as well as some allied topics such as bioprocess technology, medical imaging and radioisotopes. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION:Two new chapters on ‘Radioisotope Tracer Techniques’ (Chapter 8) and ‘Basic Molecular Biology Techniques and Bioinformatics’ (Chapter 9)A chapter on ‘Fermentation and Bioreactors’ Design and Instrumentation’ [revised and updated from Miscellaneous Methods (Chapter 8) of the previous edition]Numerous pictorial illustrations, tables and worked-out examples to enhance the understanding of each topicChapter-end review questions
