"It is a valuable means to get started in the field and targets mainly scientists without prior experience in cell biology . . . In summary, the book has earned its place on the bench in an interdisciplinary life science environment." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010)
As analytical chemistry and biology move closer together, biologists are performing increasingly sophisticated analytical techniques on cells. Chemists are also turning to cells as a relevant and important sample to study newly developed methods. Practical Cell Analysis provides techniques, hints, and time-saving tips explaining what may be “common knowledge” to one field but are often hidden or unknown to another. Within this practical guide: Much like a good manual or cookbook this book is a useful, practical guide and a handy reference for all students, researchers and practitioners involved in cellular analysis.
