Reviews for Laboratory Manual for Biotechnology and Laboratory Science: The Basics, Revised Edition

"This hefty, 1,171-page, paperback book is worth its weight in gold. What a fantastic reference for the various aspects of biotechnology. I loved the emphasis on the ""relationship between proper fundamental practices and reproducibility,"" and the authors' steadfast commitment to providing a ""solid grounding in basic, quality practices"" essential for success in biotechnology. The sheer size and comprehensiveness of this book reinforces their introductory statement, ""..'biotechnology' is not a synonym for 'molecular biology.'"" Pretty much every possible test method used in a biotechnology setting (e.g., cell culture, chromatography, immunoassay) and their essential quality components (e.g., measurements such as weight and temperature; and solutions - love the declarative statement for section 24.1.1.2: ""water is not pure"") are described in great detail. Case studies accompany each chapter for the learners to test their retention and understanding. A nice inclusion is the section on regulatory affairs for learners to appreciate the challenges of bringing a biotechnology product to the consumer. This is a fabulous textbook. If you work in biotechnology, this should be on every workbench and administrative office (e.g., supervisors, regulatory, quality assurance) for easy reference and, most importantly, adherence to quality practices.
