Product Description
This new and expanded edition of the bestselling textbook has now been fully revised to include techniques from across the biosciences. It focuses particularly on those techniques that have led to recent advances in molecular biology and is designed to help students understand the theory and practical principles behind those methods. The book will be essential reading for all bioscience undergraduate students and pre-clinical medical students and will complement traditional undergraduate texts in biochemistry and molecular biology. |

Excellent Review by A. Paternina  4 Stars

This is a very good review on the main techniques of biochemistry and molecular biology. Excellent for filling up those gaps that bad teachers left behind.

It was more than I needed or could use. I tried to contact the seller to see if I could return it, but got no response.

Ok as an intro, but rather irksome by tm  3 Stars
September 05, 2008
I had purchased this book as part of the required books for a molecular biology techniques class in college. While I did skim through most of it at that time, I hadn't given it my full attention.
Two years later, I've sat down and read the entire book (spare 2 chapters). My reason for doing this was to brush up on what I (hopefully) already knew, expand on my knowledge, and to catch some things I'd surely completely missed.
I do not like how the chapters are written by different authors. I suppose it makes sense in light of certain folks being experts in their respective fields... but isn't this book an intro book? Shouldn't the stuff in this book be "the basics"? I noticed that the style of writing (somewhat organization of thoughts, but mostly the tone/way of talking) varied. I also found more than one topic to be repeated in detail. Oh no, not just "refer to section ___ for more info"... nope... totally repeated.
I hate the organization of the book. I feel like the chapters are out of order. The chapters also, I feel, could have been focused differently to better tackle material.
Also, while a great deal of theory is helpful, I sure wished I'd seen some basic info included for actual benchwork. I wanted to see more of typical concentrations, troubleshooting, controls, etc. Because now I just look at this book and think, hmm... the info in that book I can get for free on the internet, probably faster and more detailed. I don't want to lug that thing around to work, etc. No way. Good for class though, I suppose. At least at the end of each chapter there is a recommendations section for further reading.

One of the best lab books available by Alex Berezow (Seattle, WA United States)  5 Stars
December 04, 2007
I was blown away by this book. That's how good it is.
I'm a microbiology grad student working on my Ph.D. and I have referred to this book on multiple occasions. It covers almost every single type of procedure that a student would do in a life science or biochemistry laboratory. From molecular biology to PCR; from Southern blots to western blots; from electrophoresis to mass spectrometry; from cell culture to microscopy.....this book literally covers it all. Additionally, it covers all of these topics in pretty good detail. Each procedure is not only discussed in terms of how to do it, but also why it works.
Fantastic. Every life science, biochemistry, or health science student should have this as a reference book.

good with an adjunct by varuna (detroit,mi,usa) 4 Stars
April 14, 2005
this is a very nice book with abundant information.there are few topics which are dealt extraordinarily especially centrifugation,HPLC,electrophoresis etcetera.i have been studying this book from my graduation.initially i used to feel some difficulty with this book,so i studied biopysical and biophysical techniques by Upadhyaya and Upadhyaya.once i got the clear idea regarding the techniques,i shifted to this book.now i feel this book is very helpful.it is highly recommended to all biology students.
