Lab Ref: A Handbook of Recipes, Reagents, and Other Reference Tools for Use at the Bench

by Jane Roskams, Linda Rodgers

Overview

Like its predecessor Lab Ref, Volume 1, this book is a handy benchtop source of recipes and information needed for common laboratory protocols. Lab Ref, Volume 2 contains recipes for procedures as diverse as RNA interference, imaging, proteomics, and quantitative nucleic acid analysis, and is organized by application for quick and easy reference. All recipes were derived from recent manuals published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, and each recipe is cross-referenced to its manual of origin. Reference tables and charts are included. To meet the growing need for computational resources in the biology laboratory, Lab Ref, Volume 2 also has an expanded Web site section with sources for biological materials, databases for acquiring and annotating genomic and proteomic data, and links to downloadable software.

Editorial Reviews

Collecting materials from the publisher's previous laboratory manuals, this benchtop resource contains recipes for reagents and stock solutions used in the protocols from the manuals. Arranged in order, from most common stocks and buffers to more specialized reagents, the recipes cover macromolecular preparation and purification reagents, electrophoretic separation of proteins and nucleic acids, visualizing genes and gene products, specialized media and reagents, and storage and shipping of biological samples. A final section presents useful facts and tables. Recipes are cross-referenced to the manual of origin. Hardbound, enclosed spiral binding. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
