Cell & Tissue Culture - Laboratory Procedures In Biotechnology

Cell and Tissue Culture: Laboratory Procedures in Biotechnology Edited by Alan Doyle Centre for Applied Microbiology & Research, Porton Down, Salisbury, UK. and J. Bryan Griffiths Scientific Consultancy & Publishing, Porton, Salisbury, UK. Cell and Tissue Culture: Laboratory Procedures in Biotechnology introduces the reader to animal cell culture methods describing the key cells, core techniques, how to scale up the culture for commercial production, and regulatory aspects. This book provides easy to follow, step-by-step protocols, with trouble-shooting tips and notes on time considerations. Alternative procedures, background information and references supplement the main procedures described. Other features include:
* Experimental examples to indicate expected results;
* Quick reference symbols such as safety icons with warning notes; and,
* A list of suppliers is provided to allow easy access to laboratory products.
Written by a team of international scientists, Cell and Tissue Culture: Laboratory Procedures in Biotechnology will be of interest to researchers, technicians and process engineers using cell culture within the biotechnology, biomedicine and pharmaceutical industries.
