Book Details

Bioanalytical Techniques form an integral part of applied biology and biomedical sciences. The book provides understanding of the concept and working principles of various bioanalytical  techniques used in biomedical sciences, environmental studies, life sciences, pharmaceutical analysis, molecular biology, and biotechnological research, as well as the various instruments used in these processes. Divided into 12 chapters, the book provides a comprehensive account of microscopy, centrifugation, chromatography, electrophoresis, spectroscopy. It also focuses on two main topics: radioisotope and immunodiagnostic techniques. Techniques in molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology have also been described in detail.
